3 Target Setup
Linux Software Developers Kit (SDK) Quick Start Guide 9
Configuring an IP Address
By default, the target device (MatchPort AR, XPort Pro, or EDS1100 / 2100) will attempt to obtain an IP
address via the DHCP protocol. Type the following command at the Linux shell prompt to determine the
IP address:
$ ifconfig eth0
The ifconfig command can also be used to set an address, but it will not persist across a reboot.
To set a temporary static address, issue the following command (replace angle bracketed items with
actual values):
$ ifconfig eth0 <target_ip_address> <target_subnet_mask>
To set a static address that persists across reboots:
1. Use the vi text editor to edit /usr/local/etc/netcfg. (Consult a vi manual for details on using this text
editor).
2. Add the following lines to the netcfg file (replace angle bracketed items with actual values)
IPADDR=<target_ip_address>
NETMASK=<target_subnet_mask>
GATEWAY=<target_gateway_address>
3. Write the changes to the file and exit the from the vi editor.
4. Issue the ‘reboot’ command to reset the target for changes to take effect.
