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.
