Prerequisites for setting up Ubuntu Core 16

Infrastructure

An active connection to the internet is needed to update the Ubuntu Core 16 operating system as well as applications (snaps).

Prior knowledge

● Ensure the personnel setting up Ubuntu Core 16 operating system has prior knowledge of the following:

○ Unix\Linux commands

○ Serial communication protocol

○ SSH terminal emulators (for example, PuTTY)

○ Network settings (for example, proxy URL)

Boot up and log in – Remote system configuration

1. Connect a network cable from Ethernet port one on the Edge Gateway to a DHCP-enabled network or router that provides

IP addresses.

2. In your network's DHCP server, use the command dhcp-lease-list to obtain the IP address associated with the Edge

Gateway's MAC address.

3. Setup as SSH session using an SSH terminal emulator (for example, native command-line ssh client on Linux or PuTTY on

Windows).

NOTE: The SSH service is enabled on Ubuntu Core 16 by default.

4. Enter the command ssh admin@<IP address>, followed by the default user name and password. The default user name

and password are both admin.

For example;

lo@lo-Latitude-E7470:~$ ssh admin@10.101.46.209

admin@10.101.46.209's password:

Boot up and log in – Static IP system configuration

This allows you to connect your Edge Gateway through a host computer, which must be on the same subnet.

NOTE:

The static IP address of Ethernet port two on the Edge Gateway is set to these values at the factory:

● IP address: 192.168.2.1

● Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

● DHCP server: Not applicable

1. On the host computer, configure the Ethernet adaptor that is connected to the Edge Gateway with a static IPv4 address

under the same subnet. Set the IPv4 address to 192.168.2.x (where x represents the last digit of the IP address, for

example, 192.168.2.2).

NOTE:

Do not set the IPv4 address to the same IP address as the Edge Gateway. Use an IP address between

192.168.2.2 to 192.168.2.254.

2. Set the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.
