Netmask: 255.255.255.252
Save the profile in Network Manager for later use. At any stage of the
configuration of the MP, it can always be accessed at the fallback address on
Ethernet.
1.3

Connect the MP to a LAN

Connect the MP01 via Ethernet cable to a LAN with a DHCP server and internet
access. Connect the PC to the same LAN and set it to the MP Fallback profile.
Check that you can access the MP from the PC by pinging the MP fallback
address 172.31.255.254. For Sections 1 and 2 of this guide, it is assumed that
the MP and PC are connected to the LAN this way.
1.4

Set up root password on MP

Telnet to the MP at 172.31.255.254
$ telnet 172.31.255.254
Set the root password with the command:
# passwd
Exit and connect to the MP with ssh:
$ ssh root@172.31.255.254
1.5

Start DHCP on the MP Ethernet port

Open an ssh session on the MP from the PC. Start DHCP on the Ethernet port by
issuing the command:
# udhcpc -i eth0
The MP will acquire an IP address on the LAN after a short time. DHCP will run
on the Ethernet port only until the MP is powered down; it is not a permanent
configuration. Check that the MP has internet access by pinging an internet
address from the MP command line:
# ping www.google.com
