Configure Network Settings
28 Chapter 1 Command Line Configuration Tasks
Configure Network Settings
Configuring network settings involves setting network parameters,
configuring IP routing, setting up a Domain Name Server (DNS). and
setting up Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
Configure Network Parameters
The "set config" command configures network parameter, and includes
several options for optimizing your network for better Ethernet/IP
performance. See "set config" on page 97.
The "set ethernet" command sets Ethernet options. See "set ethernet" on
page 109.
Configure IP Routing
Configuring IP routing involves these tasks:
• Configure static routes using the “set route” command (see "set route"
on page 185).
• Configure dynamic routes using the “set forwarding” command (see
"set forwarding" on page 120).
• Configure Proxy ARP using the “set forwarding” command.
Configure Static Routes
To configure a static route over a PPP link, enter:
set route net=addr mask=mask metric=hops wanname=interface
gateway=gateway
where:
• “net” is either the IP address of a system to be reached over this route
or the network address of the subnet that is to be reached on this route.
• “mask” is the mask to use for interpreting the IP address.
• “metric” is the number of hops to the destination.
• “wanname” is the interface to use for this route.
For routes over a PPP link, use the name of a PPP user that was
defined in a previously issued “set user” command, for example “ppp1”
or “link1.” (See "set user" on page 230 for information on and options
for defining PPP users.)
For routes over the Ethernet interface, use “ether.”
• “gateway” is the IP address of the device that is the next hop to the
destination. If there is no next hop destination, set the gateway to the
device IP address.
For more information on static routes, see "set route" on page 185.
