Configure the Stratix 5900 Services Router
Chapter 3
Configure the IP Address on
the Computer
You must configure an IP address on the computer so that you can configure the
router. The default configuration file assigns an IP address to a LAN interface on
the router, and you must configure the computer to be on the same subnet as the
router LAN interface.
• If the router is a fixed-interface model, it is configured as a DHCP server,
and you must configure the computer to accept an IP address
automatically.
• If the router can accept modular interfaces and it is not configured as a
DHCP server, you must configure the computer with a static IP address
on the same subnet as the router.
