Figure 4: Configuring the router from a PC in another subnet.
subnet
You can browse to the router through any VLAN or ETH port, as long as you give that
interface an IP address (see below). The recommended LAN interface is vlan1, and these
instructions assume you will use vlan1 as the LAN interface. The switch ports all belong
to vlan1 by default.
3. Access the router's command line interface
Access the CLI from the PC, as described in "Connecting a Terminal or PC"
on page 14.
4. Enable IP
ENABLE IP
5. Assign the vlan1 interface an IP address
ADD IP INTERFACE=vlan1 IP=ipaddress MASK=mask
If you use DHCP to assign IP addresses to devices on your LAN, and you want to
manage the router within this DHCP regime, it is recommended that you set your
DHCP server to always assign the same IP address to the router. This will enable you
to access the GUI by browsing to that IP address, and will also let you use the router as
a gateway device for your LAN. If you need the router's MAC address for this, you can
display it using the command SHOW SWITCH or SHOW ETH=x MACADDRESS.
To set the interface to obtain its IP address by DHCP, use the commands:
ADD IP INTERFACE=VLAN1 IPADDRESS=DHCP and
ENABLE IP REMOTEASSIGN.
6. If the PC you want to browse from is in a different subnet from the router,
give the router a route to the PC
ADD IP ROUTE=PC-subnet INTERFACE=vlan1
NEXTHOP=gateway-ipaddress
where:
• PC-subnet is the IP subnet address of the PC. For example, if the PC has
an IP address of 192.168.6.1 and a mask of 255.255.255.0, its subnet
address is 192.168.6.0.
• gateway-ipaddress is the IP address of the gateway device that connects
the PC's subnet with the router's subnet (Figure 4 on page 29).
