Configure RealPort
16 Chapter 1 Command Line Configuration Tasks
Configure RealPort
RealPort is a feature that allows network-based host systems to use the
ports of the device server as though they were the host system’s own ports,
appearing and behaving as local ports to the network-based host.
The “set rpauth” sets authentication options for RealPort. RealPort has a
challenge-authentication protocol that, if enabled, allows only hosts that
authenticate to use ports on the Digi device. This authentication protocol is
supported for both encrypted and unencrypted versions of RealPort.
In order to use RealPort authentication, it must be enabled in both the
driver and the Digi device.
For further configuration details, see "set rpauth" on page 187 and the Digi
One and PortServer TS Family User Guide’s chapter on setting up
RealPort.
Configure an IP Address
To configure an IP address, mask, and default gateway for the device
server’s Ethernet interface, use the “set config” command.
1. To ensure that the IP address you configure is permanent, turn DHCP
off by entering:
#> set config dhcp=off
2. Configure an IP address for the Ethernet interface by entering:
#> set config ip=ip address
where ip address is the IP address for the Ethernet interface. For
example:
#> set config ip=191.143.2.154
3. Configure a subnet mask by entering:
#> set config submask=mask
where mask is the subnet mask for this subnetwork. For example:
#> set config submask=255.255.255.0
4. To configure a default gateway, enter:
#> set config gateway=ip address
where ip address is the IP address of the default gateway. For example:
#> set config gateway=191.143.2.46
5. Reboot the Digi device at the prompt by entering:
#> boot action=reset
For more information, see "set config" on page 97 and "boot" on page 51.
Example
The two “set config” commands configure the Ethernet interface. The
“boot” command reboots the Digi device, which is required for the address
change to take effect.
#> set config ip=192.150.150.10 submask=255.255.255.0 dhcp=off
#> set config gateway=192.150.150.11
#> boot action=reset
