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 2700. After you complete the procedures in this chapter, you will be able to configure and manage the Contivity 2700 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 2700. 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 • Located on the same subnet as the Contivity 2700 to be configured • Operational network connection • CD-ROM drive To test the TCP/IP stack, send a ping command to any host.
