6Configure network parameters
NOTE: Skip to step 7 if you have a DHCP
environment. DHCP is the default IP
configuration. If no DHCP server is available,
please log in to Nodegrid Link 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
ipv4_bitmask = 24
ipv4_gateway = 10.0.0.1
ipv4_dns_server =
ipv4_dns_search =
ipv6_mode = address_auto_configuration
ipv6_dns_server =
ipv6_dns_search =
[admin@nodegrid eth0]# commit
[admin@nodegrid eth0]# exit
Login as root to change the root password.
7Configure serial, network & USB devices
Note: Your LSR will respond over the network
at 192.168.160.10 if your DHCP server fails or is
unavailable.
Note: To check your current IP address, connect
to the LSR console port and hit Enter at the
login prompt until you see the IP address of
ETH0 interface.
To configure the LSR for the first time via
Network:
a) Open a web browser (HTTP/S) and
enter its IP address in the address field.
Or start an SSH session to your LSR’s IP
address.
b) Log in to your LSR as admin.
c) Set your LSR basic configuration:
-Security
Security, Services page: Select the
desired services and Ports,
cryptographic protocols and cipher
suite levels. Click Save when finished.
Authentication page: add your Remote
Authentication servers (AD, LDAP,
Tacacs+, Radius and/or Kerberos).
Authorization page: create users
groups, set profiles and assign devices
-Network
Network Settings tab: Set your desired
Network parameters. Click Save for
each submenu.
Network Connections tab: Set your
desired Network Interfaces
parameters. Click Save for each
submenu.
-Serial and USB ports
Managed Devices tab: Enable and
configure your desired serial and USB
ports.
-Change Admin Password
in the upper right corner of your
screen and click “Change Password” to
change your system password.
Congratulations!
Your Nodegrid Link SR is now
configured and ready to accept users
and connections to its ports and
interfaces.
