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

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
