NET
FUNCTION: Set or display the parameters for the Fast Ethernet interface
SYNTAX:
net [<ip-addr>][-netmask <netmask>]
…[-gw <gateway>][-f]
where:
net command
<ip-addr> parameter: value: numerical string
IP address of CPU board: nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
-netmask option: netmask
<netmask> parameter: value: numerical string
netmask of CPU board: nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
-gw option: gateway
<gateway> parameter: value: numerical string
gateway address for network: nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
-f option:
force CRC update
DESCRIPTION: To set or display the parameters of the Fast Ethernet interface the
command “net” is used.
Initially the CPU board does not have a valid Fast Ethernet interface
configuration, and, therefore, this interface is inoperable. The initial
configuration must be done from the TERM interface using the
command “net ... -f”.
Using the “-f” option forces a CRC to be performed and stored along
with the other configuration parameters in the serial EEPROM.
Once the initialization of the Fast Ethernet interface is done, the CPU
board must be restarted for the parameters to take effect. Later
changes to the parameters do not require the use of the “-f” option to
force a CRC. This is done automatically. Only in the event that the
Fast Ethernet interface does not properly initialize, may it be
necessary to re-enter the parameters using the “-f” option.
The <ip-addr> parameter must be set to 255.255.255.255 if the
"dhcp" command is to be used for the configuration of the Ethernet
port.
