Configuring an IP Link

This procedure is used to configure the link parameters for IP cards using the chg-ip-lnk command.
These link parameters are used to configure the Ethernet hardware.
The chg-ip-lnk command uses the following parameters.
:loc – The card location of the IP card.
:port – The Ethernet interface on the IP card, A or B.
:ipaddr – IP address assigned to the Ethernet interface on the IP card. This is an IP address expressed
in standard "dot notation." IP addresses consist of the system's network number and the machine's
unique host number.
:submask – The subnet mask of the IP interface. A subnet mask is an IP address with a restricted
range of values. The bits in the mask must be a string of one's followed by a string of zero's. There
must be at least two one's in the mask, and the mask cannot be all one's. See
Mask Parameter Values
:auto – Tells hardware whether to automatically detect the duplex and speed.
:duplex – This is the mode of operation of the interface.
:speed – This is the bandwidth in megabits per second of the interface.
:mactype – This is the Media Access Control Type of the interface.
:mcast – The multicast control flag. This parameter enables or disables multicast support for the
interface.
The EAGLE 5 ISS can contain a maximum of 2048 IP links.
A zero ipaddr parameter value (0.0.0.0) indicates the IP card Ethernet interface to IP link association
is disabled. The host to the original IP address must be removed before the ipaddr=0.0.0.0 can be
specified.
If the defrouter parameter of the chg-ip-card command contains an IP address for the card
specified in this procedure, the network portion of one of the IP addresses assigned to the card in this
procedure must match the network portion of the IP address specified by the defrouter parameter of
the chg-ip-card command.
The network portion of the IP address is based on the class of the IP address (shown in
Subnet Mask Parameter
portion of the IP address. If the IP address is a Class B IP address, the first two fields are the network
portion of the IP address. If the IP address is a Class C IP address, the first three fields are the network
portion of the IP address. For example, if the IP address is 193.5.207.150, a Class C IP address, the
network portion of the IP address is 193.5.207.
If the auto=yes parameter is specified, then the duplex and speed parameters are not allowed.
The loc parameter value must be shown in the rtrv-ip-card output.
The IP card must be placed out of service.
If either the ipaddr or submask parameters are specified, then both parameters must be specified.
If the ipaddr parameter value is zero (0.0.0.0), the submask parameter is not required.
