Command Descriptions, Continued
“config address ip”
command
This command configures the hub-half IP address. Each individual hub
board (“hub-half”) in the system must have a unique IP address. Your
network administrator can help you choose appropriate addresses for
your DataNET hubs. IP addresses are entered in “dotted-decimal”
notation. For example:
config address ip 192.10.6.123
The IP address is automatically stored in the hub-half’s non-volatile
memory when you enter this command. You can display the current IP
address with the config display command.
“config device id”
Command
Each pair of hub boards shares a common “device ID.” This ID must be
configured into each board’s non-volatile memory at installation time with
the config device id command. Device Ids have the same form as IP
addresses (i.e., four dotted-decimal components, in the range 0 through
255). Any value may be chosen for device IDs. The only requirements
are that each pair of hub boards that make up a complete hub, share the
same device ID and that device IDs are not duplicated between any hubs
in a single DataNET.
One convenient convention for assigning device IDs is to use the IP
address of the “A” half of each pair as the device ID.
“config display”
Command
This command displays the settings for the hub’s non-volatile
configuration parameters.
“config netmask”
Command
This command sets the IP subnet mask for a hub-half. Your network
administrator can help you choose an appropriate subnet mask for your
DataNET hubs (subnet masks are not always required). Subnet masks
are entered in “dotted-decimal” notation. For example:
config netmask 255.255.192.0
The subnet mask is automatically stored in the hub-half’s non-volatile
memory when you enter this command. You can display the current
subnet mask with the config display command.
