2.18.4. Gateway Setup Previous topic Parent topic Child topic Next topic

To permit system initialization and basic management configuration activities following commands are needed.
  • Setting and changing the gateway name:
set hostname <hostname>
  1. The parameter hostname terms an arbitrary name for the gateway and it must be a string of characters (e.g. set hostname Gateway1). It corresponds with the boot line parameter "targetname".
  • Setting and changing the IP-Address for the ethernet port:
set ip address <ip address>
set ip subnet <ip subnet mask>
  1. The parameter ip address is a string in the form of x.x.x.x and x is an integer (e.g. 1.2.3.4)
    The parameter ip subnet mask is a string in the form of x.x.x.x and x is an integer between 0 and 255 (e.g. 255.255.255.224).
    A set or a change of the IP-address or IP subnet for the ethernet port will probably require a gateway reboot to become effective.
  • Setting and changing the IP-address of the default gateway from static routes table:
set default gateway <ip address>
  1. The parameter ip address is a string in the form of x.x.x.x and x is an integer (e.g. 1.2.3.4)
  • Display/change chosen identifier:
get id <parameter name>
set id <parameter name>
