Configuring the Ethernet Port Using the CLI
Before you can use the CLI, you must configure the serial interface
to use the CLI, as described in the Initially Configuring the RS-232
Serial Port to Use the CLI section.
NOTE All CLI commands are entered at the
ePower:/ prompt. The text within
the prompt varies, depending on the directory level at the time of entry.
You can use the RS-232 serial port command-line interface (CLI) to enable
either or both the IPv4 and IPv6 Ethernet protocols:
1. To enable IPv4, perform the following steps:
a. Go to the IPv4 target by entering the following command:
cd /system1/settings/network/ipv4
b. If you are using DHCP, enter the following command:
set enable=y dhcp=y
c. If you are entering a static IP, enter the following commands to set
the ePower IP address, subnet mask, and gateway IP address:
set enable=y
set address=ip_address
set mask=subnet_mask gateway=gateway_ip
2. To enable IPv6, perform the following steps:
a. Go to the IPv6 target by entering the following command:
cd /system1/settings/network/ipv6
b. To use DHCP, enter the following command:
set enable=y dhcp=y
c. To enter a static IP, enter the following command to set the ePower
IP address, subnet mask, and gateway IP address:
set enable=y address=ip_address mask=subnet_mask gateway=gateway_ip
