environment. DHCP is the default IP
configuration. If no DHCP server is available,
please log in to Nodegrid Gate SR via its console
or HDMI port using admin credentials and
configure a static IP address using CLI
instructions as follows:
[admin@nodegrid /]# cd
settings/network_connections/ETH0/
[admin@nodegrid ETH0]# set ipv4_mode=static
[admin@nodegrid ETH0]# set ipv4_address=10.0.0.10
[admin@nodegrid ETH0]# set ipv4_bitmask=24
[admin@nodegrid ETH0]# set ipv4_gateway=10.0.0.1
[admin@nodegrid ETH0]# show
name: ETH0
type: ethernet
ethernet_interface = eth0
connect_automatically = yes
set_as_primary_connection = yes
enable_lldp = no
ipv4_mode = static
ipv4_address = 10.0.0.10
