To install the router into a different subnet than the PC:
Use an Ethernet cable to connect any one of the Ethernet ports to a device
on the LAN segment in which you require the router to work, for example,
a hub, router, or switch (see Figure 3-4).
Figure 3-4: Configuring the router from a PC in another subnet
Important You can browse to the router through any ETH port, or any VLAN
on the AR750S or AR750S-DP, as long as you give that interface an IP address
(below). These instructions assume you use eth0 as the LAN interface.
3. Access the router’s command line interface.
Access the CLI from the PC, as described in your Installation and Safety
Guide or Quick Install Guide.
4. Enable IP.
enable ip
5. Assign the eth0 interface an IP address.
add ip interface=eth0 ip=ipaddress mask=mask
If you use DHCP to assign IP addresses to devices on your LAN, and you
want to manage the router within this DHCP regime, we recommend you
set your DHCP server to always assign the same IP address to the router.
This lets you access the GUI by browsing to that IP address, and also lets
you use the router as a gateway device for your LAN. If you need the
router's MAC address for this, you can display it with the command show
eth=0 macaddress. To set the interface to obtain its IP address by DHCP,
use the commands:
add ip interface=eth0 ipaddress=dhcp
enable ip remoteassign
6. If the PC you want to browse from is in a different subnet from the router, give
the router a route to the PC.
add ip route=pc-subnet interface=eth0
nexthop=gateway-ipaddress
where:
• PC-subnet is the IP subnet address of the PC. For example, if the PC has
an IP address of 192.168.6.1 and a mask of 255.255.255.0, its subnet
address is 192.168.6.0.
• gateway-ipaddress is the IP address of the gateway device that connects
the PC’s subnet with the router’s subnet (Figure 3-4 on page 3-8).
