enabled the customer is responsible for providing a DHCP server that will supply
the necessary configuration information or the Ethernet port will not work.
If DHCP is disabled, the IP number, netmask, gateway, and DNS configuration
must be set manually.
Note: the 0/1 refers to the RMS Ethernet port (0) or the payload Ethernet port (1).
Although there is a setting for the payload port, it is not used. The default port is
0, however, so entering a 0 or 1 is unnecessary and is only documented for the
sake of completeness.
4.2.13 dhcpinfo DHCP Information
Usage: dhcpinfo
Authorization: Operator RO; Administrator RO
Display ethernet interface information resulting from DHCP configuration. The
information includes IP address, network and netmask values, broadcast address,
gateway address, domain, domain name server, MAC address, and lease time.
If DHCP is not enabled or was not successful in configuring the interface, a
message will be printed indicating no information is available.
4.2.14 dns Domain Name Server
Usage: dns [<pri|sec>] [nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn]
Authorization: Operator RO; Administrator RW
With no argument, displays the IP address of the domain name server(s).
Otherwise sets the domain name server address to the specified value.
A domain name server, or DNS, is required for the RMS Ethernet port to locate
other networked systems by name. It is possible to set a primary and a secondary
name server. If not specified, primary is the default.
If DHCP is enabled, the DNS should be set automatically.
A DNS setting is optional. If it is not needed, an IP number of 0.0.0.0 may be
entered.
4.2.15 gateway Network Gateway
Usage: gateway [<nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn|hostname.domain>]
Authorization: Operator RO; Administrator RW
With no argument, displays the default IP gateway. Otherwise sets the default
gateway to the specified value.
To communicate beyond the local network, the IP communication must go
through an IP router. This command allows a default router to be specified to
handle any communication beyond the local network.
