VM600 networking manual MAVM600-NET/E 5 - 9
Edition 9 - February 2018
Adding a default gateway to a CPUM card
ETHERNET COMMUNICATIONS WITH A VM600 RACK
route add default is the command to add the default gateway.
10.10.1.254 is the IP address of the default gateway, in dot-decimal notation.
As described in 2.5 Working with configuration files, the easiest way to edit the sysinit file
is a terminal emulation session on a computer running Midnight Commander on the CPUM
card (see 7 Terminal emulation).
NOTE: As sysinit is a system initialisation file, it is read its commands are run when the
CPUM card starts, so the card must be restarted in order for any changes to this
file to take effect.
5.6.3 CPUM cards running firmware version 074 or earlier
For a CPUM card running firmware version 074 or earlier, the default gateway for a CPUM
card is defined and added using the hosts and tcpip.1 files.
NOTE: Refer to the VM600 networking manual, edition 6 (or earlier), for additional
information.
