eth0> set ip.broadcast_force=192.168.1.255

eth0> set ip.gateway_force=192.168.1.1

eth0> set ip.netmask_force=255.255.255.0

The ‘ip.address_force’, ‘ip.gateway_force’, and ‘ip.netmask_force’ parameters can be set via

the web interface using the “Wired/Backhaul Interface” page (see Figure 31).

Note that for the manually configured address to be used, the ‘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 ‘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.
