Setting up a Default Route
If you wish to access the switch from some place other than a directly attached network, you may
want to setup a default route. Use the route command to set a default gateway.
route add default gw 10.0.0.254
Put the entry into the /etc/init.d/rcS startup script to automatically set a default route upon
reboot.
Name Service Resolution
Name service lookups will be done locally using /etc/hosts. You can also tell the switch
which name server to use by including an entry in /etc/resolv.conf.
DHCP Client Configuration
A utility is included to dynamically determine the IP address of the OpenArchitect switch
interfaces. To set the the IP address dynamically, execute the command,
dhclient zhp0
The default device name, zhp0, works with the default configuration of the OpenArchitect
switch and will attempt to obtain an IP address from the local DHCP server. To use DHCP to set
your IP addresses automatically on boot up, uncomment the the following line in
/etc/init.d/rcS by removing the # sign:
/usr/sbin/dhclient zhp0
DHCP Server Configuration
The OpenArchitect switch includes a DHCP server. To start the DHCP server, configure
/etc/dhcpd.conf for your network, and run dhcpd
Consult Linux Network administration manuals for more information on DHCP and
configuration options.
To use DHCP to set your IP addresses automatically on boot up, uncomment the the following
line in /etc/init.d/rcS by removing the # sign:
dhcpd
