To disable Ethernet DHCP client mode, set the DHCP role parameter to „none‟ as shown
below.
> use eth0
eth0> set dhcp.role=none
Web GUI
The Ethernet DHCP role value can be set via the web interface using the “DHCP” sub-tab on
the “DHCP” tab on the “System Parameters” page (see Figure 30).
8.2.2 Manual IP Configuration
When a node is configured as a gateway, there are no limitations imposed by the EnRoute500
on the IP address assigned to the Ethernet interface. If the Ethernet DHCP role parameter is
set to „none‟, the manually configured IP address will be used. The default IP configuration that
is assigned to the interface based on the node and mesh ID settings is available through the
CLI and the web GUI.
Note that for the manually configured IP address to be used, the Ethernet DHCP role setting
must be set to „none‟ if the node is connected to a network which provides access to a DHCP
server.
The IP configuration settings shown in the „eth0‟ interface in the CLI and on the
“Wired/Backhaul Interface” page of the web interface do not necessarily reflect the
current settings of the interface. They are the requested settings and do not take into
account whether the interface has been configured via DHCP. If the Ethernet DHCP
role parameter is set to „client‟, the „ip.address‟, ip.broadcast‟, „ip.gateway‟, and
„ip.netmask‟ parameters will respond to a „get‟ command with „<dhcp>‟ to indicate
that the parameters will be assigned by a DHCP server instead of any values
assigned via the CLI. Use the „ifconfig eth0‟ command in the CLI or access the
“Status” page in the web interface to get current interface settings.
CLI
The Ethernet default IP configuration is available through the following read-only parameters:
ip.address – IP address
ip.broadcast – IP broadcast address
ip.gateway – default gateway
ip.netmask – netmask
