8.1.2 Ethernet Interface IP Address
The EnRoute500‟s Ethernet interface IP address should not be changed directly when it is in
repeater mode. To set the IP address to the desired value, modify the node ID, mesh ID, and
LAN prefix parameters (see sections 6.3 and 6.5).
CLI
You can view the IP settings for the Ethernet interface with the „ip.*‟ parameters in the „eth0‟
interface as shown in the example below.
> use eth0
eth0> get ip.*
ip.address = 10.2.4.225 [read-only]
ip.address_force =
ip.broadcast = 10.2.4.255 [read-only]
ip.broadcast_force =
ip.gateway = [read-only]
ip.gateway_force =
ip.netmask = 255.255.255.0 [read-only]
ip.netmask_force =
ip.size.actual = [read-only]
ip.size.requested = 31
ip.start.actual = [read-only]
ip.start.requested = 225
When the node is in repeater mode, the Ethernet IP settings can be changed by altering the
„id.node‟, „id.mesh‟, and „id.lanprefix‟ parameters in the „sys‟ interface and the
„ip.start.requested‟ parameter in the „eth0‟ interface
Web GUI
The Ethernet IP settings are available through the web interface on the “Status” page. The
Ethernet IP settings can be changed by altering the node ID, mesh ID, and LAN prefix settings
on the “System” parameters tab on the “System Parameters” page.
8.1.3 IP Configuration of Client Devices via DHCP
When configured as a repeater, the EnRoute500 can be set to serve IP addresses to clients on
the Ethernet interface using DHCP. Two distinct modes for providing IP addresses via DHCP
exist. These are described in depth in section 10.
