3.4. Default Network Settings

After initial software installation or system cold start, the Target Ethernet interface eth0 tries to

obtain a network IP address and subnet mask using DHCP. To obtain these network settings, a

DHCP server must exist on the network intended for use by eth0. If the Target cannot contact a

DHCP server using eth0, it will assign a meaningless IP address of 0.0.0.0 to that interface.

The Target’s other two Ethernet interfaces, eth1 and eth2, are assigned default IP addresses and

subnet masks. Refer to the figure under “Network Ports” for the physical locations of the Ethernet

ports.

If you do not wish to use DHCP to configure eth0 (or if the network does not have a DHCP

server), the user must manually configure the network configurations including the IP address,

subnet mask, and gateway IP. Ask your network administrator for valid IP address and subnet

masks for the network(s) where the Target will be integrated.

Note: Manually setting the network configuration requires that a keyboard and monitor be

connected directly to the Target.

To manually set the network configuration, log in to the Target as:

Then type the following:

ace-net-config -a xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -n yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy

where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address and yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy is the netmask.

After manually configuring interface eth0 (if not using DHCP), users must use the RMS web

interface to change settings for the Target’s Ethernet ports. For more information on RMS 4,

reference the Telestra 4 Remote Management System 4 User Guide (DOC-01-TEL4-RMS4-UG-

4).
