IES-1000 User’s Guide
IP Commands 12-1
This chapter shows you how to configure the IP (Internet Protocol) parameters. The IP host
implementation in the IES-1000 allows you to manage it over the network.
More often than not, you have more than one IES-1000 for a particular installation. Before you start configuring
the IES-1000s, make sure that you
1. Plan ahead.
2. Have a complete diagram showing the whole network.
3. Record the IP parameters assigned to the equipment in your network.
12.1 Setting the IP Address
To set the IP address, default gateway and the subnet mask of the Ethernet port of a network module, use the
following command sequence.
1.
192.168.1.1> ip
2.
192.168.1.1 ip> enable ether <new ip address>
3.
<new ip address> ip> route delete default
4.
<new ip address> ip> route add default 0.0.0.0 <default gateway>
00:00:00:00
5.
<new ip address> ip> config save
where
<new ip address> =
The IP address you want to configure for the network module.
<default gateway> =
The default gateway IP address of the network module.
Line 1 brings you to the IP subsystem.
Line 2 allows you to add a new IP address for the IES-1000. The IP address of the IES-1000 is displayed in the
command prompt. The system automatically computes the subnet mask when the system is restarted. If you want
to specify a subnet manually, add the following two commands before line 4:
192.168.1.1 ip> subnet delete ether.home
192.168.1.1 ip> subnet add ether.home ether <subnet address> <subnet mask>
where <subnet mask> is the subnet mask in hexadecimal, for example “ff:ff:ff:00”.
Line 3 deletes the existing default route.
Line 4 adds the new default route. The default route tells the system where the gateway (next hop) is when the
IES-1000 sends packets to a destination that is not on the same subnet as the IES-1000.
Line 5 saves the new configuration to the nonvolatile memory.
