4.2 Assigning an IP Address to the Gateway
To assign an IP address to each of the Mediant 2000 modules use one of the following
methods:
 HTTP using a Web browser (refer to Section 4.2.1 below).
 BootP (refer to Section 4.2.2 on page 51).
 The embedded Command Line Interface (CLI) accessed via RS-232 (if supported) or
Telnet (refer to Section 4.2.3 on page 51).
 Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) (refer to Section 7.2 on page 204).
Use the ‘Reset’ button at any time to restore the gateway networking parameters to their
factory default values (refer to Section
11.1 on page 247).
4.2.1 Assigning an IP Address Using HTTP
¾ To assign an IP address using HTTP, take these 9 steps:
1. Disconnect the gateway from the network and reconnect it to your PC using one of the
following two methods:
• Use a standard Ethernet cable to connect the network interface on your PC to a
port on a network hub / switch. Use a second standard Ethernet cable to connect
the gateway to another port on the same network hub / switch.
• Use an Ethernet cross-over cable to directly connect the network interface on
your PC to the gateway.
2. Change your PC’s IP address and subnet mask to correspond with the gateway's
factory default IP address and subnet mask, shown in Table 4-1. For details on
changing the IP address and subnet mask of your PC, refer to Windows™ Online Help
(Start>Help).
3. Access the gateway's Embedded Web Server (refer to Section 5.3 on page 58).
4. In the ‘Quick Setup’ screen (shown in Figure 4-1), set the gateway ‘IP Address’,
‘Subnet Mask’ and ‘Default Gateway IP Address’ fields under ‘IP Configuration’ to
correspond with your network IP settings. If your network doesn’t feature a default
gateway, enter a dummy value in the ‘Default Gateway IP Address’ field.
5. Click the Reset button and click OK at the prompt; the gateway applies the changes
and restarts.
Tip: Record and retain the IP address and subnet mask you assign the
gateway. Do the same when defining new username or password. If the
Embedded Web Server is unavailable (for example, if you’ve lost your
username and password), use the BootP/TFTP (Trivial File Transfer
Protocol) configuration utility to access the device, ‘reflash’ the load and
reset the password (refer to Appendix D on page 353 for detailed
information on using a BootP/TFTP configuration utility to access the
device).
6. When implementing a Mediant 2000 with two modules, repeat steps 3 to 5 for the
second module; otherwise, skip to Step 7.
7. Disconnect your PC from the gateway or hub / switch (depending on the connection
method you used in Step 1).
8. Reconnect the gateway and your PC (if necessary) to the network.
9. Restore your PC’s IP address and subnet mask to what they originally were. If
necessary, restart your PC and re-access the gateway via the Embedded Web Server
with its new assigned IP address.
