DT-6X60 User's Manual - Platform (Build 2.0)
The IP address and subnet mask are used to determine whether a destination IP address is on the
same LAN segment, or if a gateway hop is required. If it is necessary to reconfigure a DT-6X60 to
a new subnetwork, first set the gateway to none, then change the ipaddr, then set the new
gateway.
When one of these commands is invoked without its argument, it will display the current
configuration of the unit. When invoked with its argument, the current configuration is changed
accordingly.
When this DT-6X60 is run in the high availability configuration as part of a duplex pair, two other IP
addresses are required. The ipaddr, ipother, and ippublic, must be part of the same subnetwork
as defined by the submask.
Syntax: ippublic [d.d.d.d]
ipother [d.d.d.d]
The address ipother is the IP address of the other/companion DT-6X60 in the pair. The address
ippublic is the shared address of both units. Only one unit is active at a time.
Before configuring a pair of DT-6X60’s for high availability, they should each be configured with
their own ipaddr, and with the appropriate gateway, and submask.
The two DT-6X60's must be
on the same network, which is to say the IP addresses of the two DT-6X60s must have the same
network ID. See section 6.9 for additional detail and commands regarding the High Availability
feature.
Changes to these system parameters do not become effective until after the next reboot.
6.4.4 GATEWAY
Syntax: gateway [d.d.d.d]
The gateway command is only allowed when the unit is logged in.
The [d.d.d.d] field is the IP address of the gateway router to be used to reach a destination IP
address on a different LAN segment. Invocation of the command with no arguments causes it to
output the current value for gateway. The gateway must be in the same subnetwork as ipaddr as
defined by the submask.
When one of these commands is invoked without its argument, it will display the current
configuration of the unit. When invoked with its argument, the current configuration is changed
accordingly.
The gateway must belong to the same subnetwork as the module. That is, the part of the gateway
address corresponding to the non-zero part of the submask must match the corresponding part of
the ipaddr. If it is necessary to reconfigure a DT-6X60 to a new subnetwork, first set the gateway
to none, then change the ipaddr, then set the new gateway.
Changes to these system parameters do not become effective until after the next reboot.
6.4.5 HOSTNAME
Syntax: hostname [<host.domain name> | none ]
The hostname command is only allowed when the unit is logged in. Invocation of the command
with no arguments causes it to output the current value for hostname.

The DT-6X60 is itself an IP entity. It has an IP address associated with it, and may also have a
domain-style name. The ipaddr is specified by the ipaddr command described above. The
hostname can be a fully qualified name, host.domain name, or a simple name of 24 or less
characters. The value none deletes any hostname previously defined.
