Configuring the management IP interface This chapter describes how to configure a management IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address on a newly installed Contivity 1700. After you complete the procedures in this chapter, you will be able to configure and manage the Contivity 1700 using a Web browser from a PC.
IP address for the management interface The management IP address must be accessible from one of the private physical interfaces on the Contivity 1700. For example, if you plan to assign IP address 10.2.3.3 with subnet mask 255.255.0.0 to the private physical interface, the management IP address must reside in the 10.2 network.
Chapter 3 Configuring the management IP interface 45 Configuring the management IP address You use the serial interface to assign the Contivity 1700 a management IP address and subnet mask so that you can then use a Web browser for management.
