Set the Ether0 Network Address
Command> set password [Password]
Command> save all
Caution – Change the administrative password each time you give it to somone outside
the organization for servicing.
Set the Ether0 Network Address
You can set an IP and IPX address on the INA module. Both IP and IPX routing
protocols are enabled by default. Information on IPX settings can be found in the
PortMaster Configuration Guide and the PortMaster Command Line Reference.
Set the IP Address and Netmask
The IP address identifies the port for IP Ethernet traffic. The default netmask (subnet
mask) is 255.255.255.0. If your network is divided into subnets, enter the netmask that
identifies how your network addresses are divided between the network portion and the
host portion.
Use the following commands to set the IP address and netmask:
Command> set ether0 address Ipaddress
Command> set ether0 netmask Ipmask
Command> save all
Set the Broadcast Address
The broadcast address, constructed from the IP address and netmask of a specified
Ethernet interface, is used by RIP to send information to other hosts on a local Ethernet
network.
When you set a broadcast address for the Ethernet port on the INA module, all other
hosts on the local Ethernet network, must be set to the same broadcast address.
Use these commands to set the broadcast address:
Command> set ether0 broadcast high|low
Command> save all
high—Use when the host part of the binary address is all 1s (ones)—such as
192.168.1.255. This is the most often used setting.
low—Use when the host part of the binary address is all 0s (zeros)—such as
192.168.1.0. This is the default setting.
