The use of DHCP for IP assignment is not recommended. If you choose to utilize a
DHCP assigned address, simply let the appliance boot up and an address will be
assigned. To verify the address, log onto the appliance and run the “ip addr”
command.
[sbox@sboxnode1 ~]$ ip addr
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 ::1/128 scope host
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: nic0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen
1000
link/ether 08:00:27:9e:96:c0 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 192.168.1.100/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global dynamic nic0
valid_lft 68091sec preferred_lft 68091sec
After running “ip addr”, locate the output stanza for “nic0”. Locate the assigned IP
address in the string following the “inet” tag. This is the ethernet address assigned to
to the primary ethernet port. Additional network ports can be assigned using the
Gemini Enterprise: Manage.
2.4.2 Manual Network Setup
The first ethernet port must be configured before the appliance can be managed. To
do so, log onto the appliance as detailed in step 2.3 and use the following command to
complete the network setting if there’s no DHCP server for IP address assignment:
sbox network -nic <Network interface name> -ip <IP address> -netmask
<Netmask> -gateway <Gateway IP>
For example:
sbox network -nic nic0 -ip 192.168.1.100 -netmask 255.255.255.0 -gateway
192.168.1.1
will configure the network settings exactly the same with assigned by DHCP in step
2.4.1. This IP address will be used for the remainder of the configuration. This is
important to configure network settings correctly so the appliance can be accessed.
If there’re more than one ethernet ports connected, you may use the same command
to complete the rest settings.
