IP address is an identification number assigned to a computer as a permanent address on the
network. Computers use IP addresses to identify and talk to each other on the network. Choose a
proper IP address which is unique and valid for your network environment.
A subnet represents all the network hosts at one geographic location, in one building, or on the same
local area network. When there is any outgoing packet over the network, the LS100W will check
whether the desired TCP/IP host, specified in the packet, is on the local network segment with the help
of the subnet mask. If the address is proven to be on the same network segment as the LS100W, the
connection is established directly from the LS100W. Otherwise, the connection is established
through the given default gateway.
A gateway is a network point that acts as an entrance to another network. Usually, the computers that
control traffic within the network or at the local Internet service provider are gateway nodes. The
LS100W needs to know the IP address of the default gateway computer in order to communicate with
the hosts outside the local network environment. For correct information on the gateway IP address,
please refer to the network administrator.
4.1.2 Static IP Configuration
To configure IP configuration parameters of the LS100W, use set command as follows
set ip static ip_address subnet_mask default_gateway + <CR>
where,
ip_address = IP address of the LS100W
subnet_mask = Subnet mask
default_gateway = Default gateway IP address
Figure 4-1 shows IP configuration command example screen. To apply changes, users have to invoke
‘save’and ‘reboot’command after changing configuration.
> set ip static 192.168.1.10 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1
OK
