Configuring Network Settings using the CLI

This topic describes the steps to configure your network settings using the CLI. For details about each command, refer to the Command Line Interface section.

1. Set the IP address and netmask of the LAN interface:

   config system interface
     edit <port>
     set ip <ip_address> <netmask>
     set allowaccess (http https ping ssh telnet)
   end
   

   where:
   • <port> can be one of port1- port4.
   • <ip_address> is the interface IP address.
   • <netmask> is the interface netmask.
   Sample Command:

   config system interface
    edit port1
    set ip 192.168.100.159 255.255.255.0
    set allowaccess ping https ssh
   end
   

2. Set the primary and optionally the secondary DNS server:

   config system dns
     set primary <dns-server_ip>
     set secondary <dns-server_ip>
   end
   

   where:
   • <dns-server_ip> is the primary or secondary DNS IP server address
   Sample Command:

   config system dns
    set primary 65.39.139.52
    set secondary 65.39.139.62
   end
   

3. Set the default gateway:

   config system route
     edit <seq_num>
     set device <port>
     set gateway <gateway_ip>
   end
   

   where:
   • <seq_num> is an unused routing sequence number starting from 1 to create a new route.
   • <port> is the port used for this route.
   • <gateway_ip> is the default gateway IP address for this network.
   Sample Command:

   config system route
    edit 1
    set device port1
    set gateway 172.30.62.254
   end
   

4. Set a network protocol (NTP) server:

   config system ntp
       set server <server_ip>
       set status (enable | disable)
   end
   

   where:
   • <server_ip> is the IP address or fully qualified domain name of the NTP server.
   Sample Command:

   config system ntp
    set server 172.30.62.81
    set status enable
   end
