Network conguration and default setup

The following commands can be used to congure dierent network interfaces on the system with Wind River Linux on it.

Network conguration on Wind River Linux IDP 3.1 environment can be performed through the LuCi web interface.

NOTE: The LuCi web interface supported in the default OS image.

The user can reach the LuCi web interface on the system using the

https://< IP-Address-of-eth0-interface-of-the-gateway >

following URL from a dierent system with a web browser and the system should be on the same network or connected to the

system’s network through proxy.

The default login credentials to the LuCi web interface are root/root. The IP address of the eth0 network port can be identied

by performing the ifconfigcommand on the Linux terminal.

Network interface conguration

The Edge Gateway contains the following default network congurations:

• br-lan — Bridged LAN Interface

• eth0 — Wired LAN interface 0

• eth1 — Wired LAN Interface 1

• lo — Loop back interface

• wlan0 — Wireless LAN (or Wi-Fi) interface mode

eth0 — Wired LAN Interface. By default eth0 interface is congured to be DHCP client interface. When this ethernet port is

connected to a DHCP server, this interface obtains an IP address from the DHCP server.

Run the root@WR-IDP-xxxx:~# ifconfig eth0 command to identify the IP address. The network IP interface information is

available under inet addr: x.x.x.x where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the system.

eth1 — Wired LAN interface. The default conguration for the second wired ethernet interface eth1 serves as DHCP server and

provides IP addresses to any device requesting IP address from the system. The devices requesting DHCP addresses get IP

addresses in the range of 192.168.1.x subnet. The default DHCP server is at 192.168.1.1 address. For reconguring this

network interface by logging in to the LuCi web interface.

Wlan0 — Wireless LAN or Wi-Fi interface. The default conguration for the WLAN0 interface on the system with Wind River Linux

is in access point (AP) mode. The mode can be changed to client mode through LuCi web interface.

Br-lan — The bridged LAN interface. By default, the bridge interface is congured to bridge ethernet eth1 and the WLAN0

interface, so any devices that would like to connect to the system in WiFi mode or through eth1 wired mode can obtain IP addresses
