7 BASIC SETUP
This chapter is made to help you to easily configure your gateway during the initial configuration process. It follows
chronological configuration when possible so you should read it like a step by step configuration procedure and pass
some steps when they are not required for your setup.
7.1 CONFIGURE THE NETWORK
The USB access is made for service only usage since the gateway is primarily made to be reached through an IP
network. The first step is then to configure the network aspects through the USB service access.
7.1.1 CHECK THE CURRENT STATUS
7.1.1.1 IP ADDRESS
You can see the current IP address (v4 and v6) by using the command ifconfig:
$ ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr fc:c2:3d:aa:bb:cc
inet addr:192.168.1.10 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::fec2:3dff:fe2d:56f1/64 Scope:Link
inet6 addr: aaaa:bbbb:1:0:bbbb:3dff:fe2d:56f1/64 Scope:Global
inet6 addr: aaaa:bbbb:1:0:dddd:ca08:6889:a36b/64 Scope:Global
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:10219756 errors:3 dropped:30251 overruns:0 frame:3
TX packets:58541 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:493144710 (470.2 MiB) TX bytes:14043284 (13.3 MiB)
Interrupt:27
The field inet addr returns the IPv4 addresses, inet6 addr fields return the IPv6 addresses.
7.1.1.2 CONNECTIVITY
You can test the current connectivity to see if the gateway has access to local, global or no access at all:
$ nmcli networking connectivity check
full
The possible result values are:
• none
the host is not connected to any network.
• portal
the host is behind a captive portal and cannot reach the full Internet.
• limited
the host is connected to a network, but it has no access to the Internet.
• full
the host is connected to a network and has full access to the Internet.
• unknown
the connectivity status cannot be found out.
7.1.1.3 CONNECTION INFORMATION
The main connection provided by the system is called backhaul in LORIX OS and represents the connection
established on the eth0 device (main and only Ethernet connector of the product).
