and a contact name and phone number for the network administrator

responsible for the router, for example:

SET SYSTEM CONTACT=”Anna Brown 03-456 789”

The name, location, and contact are strings 1 to 80 characters in length of any

printable character. If the string includes spaces enclose the string in double

quotes.

Set the router’s real time clock to the current local time in 24 hour notation

(hh:mm:ss), for example:

SET TIME=14:50:00

and to the current date (dd-mmm-yy, or dd-mmm-yyyy), for example:

SET DATE=29-JAN-02

SET DATE=29-JAN-2003

Assigning an IP Address

After you log into the manager account (see “Logging In” on page 15) you can

enter commands from this document and from the AR400 Series Router Software

Reference.

You may want access to the router over one of its switch ports (also called

network ports) in order to Telnet into the router from an IP host connected to

one of the switch ports.

Firstly, to enable IP, enter the command:

ENABLE IP

Then, to add an IP interface over the default VLAN (vlan1) and assign it an IP

address (e.g. 192.168.1.1), enter the command:

ADD IP INTERFACE=vlan1 IPADDRESS=192.168.1.1

Once the router is configured with an IP address, you can access the command

line interface by using Telnet to the router from an IP host connected to port 1

or 2.

Similarly, to give an IP address to other interfaces on the router, including the

the DMZ VLAN containing port 3 (vlan2), the WAN Ethernet port (eth0), or

other interfaces added to the PIC bay, enter the command:

ADD IP INTERFACE=interface IPADDRESS=ipadd

To change the IP address for an interface, enter the command:

SET IP INTERFACE=interface IPADDRESS=ipadd MASK=ipadd

To configure an IP interface to use an address assigned by the Dynamic Host

Configuration Protocol (DHCP), and set the IPADDRESS parameter of the

interface to DHCP, enter the command:

SET IP INTERFACE=interface IPADDRESS=DHCP

You do not need to set the MASK parameter because the subnet mask received

from the DHCP server is used.
