Chapter 5: Using the Command Line Interface
Network Configuration Commands
A network configuration command begins with
network
. A number of
network settings can be changed through the CLI, such as the IP address,
transmission speed, duplex mode, and so on.
Configuring IPv4 Parameters
An IPv4 configuration command begins with
network ipv4
.
Setting the IPv4 Configuration Mode
This command determines the IP configuration mode.
network ipv4 interface <ETH> configMethod <mode>
Variables:
• <ETH> is one of the network interfaces:
ethernet
,
wireless
, or
bridge
.
Note that you must choose/configure the bridge interface if your
BCM2 is set to the bridging mode.
Note: In the bridging mode, only the IP parameters of the BRIDGE
interface function. The IP parameters of the ETHERNET and
WIRELESS interfaces do NOT function.
ethernet
(BCM2)
Determine the IPv4 configuration mode of the
ETHERNET interface (that is, wired networking).
eth1
(BCM2-iX7)
Determine the IPv4 configuration mode of the
ETH1 interface (wired networking).
eth2
(BCM2-iX7)
Determine the IPv4 configuration mode of the
ETH2 interface (wired networking).
wireless Determine the IPv4 configuration mode of the
WIRELESS interface (that is, wireless
networking).
bridge Determine the IPv4 configuration mode of the
BRIDGE interface (that is, bridging mode).
• <mode> is one of the modes:
dhcp
or
static
.
dhcp The IPv4 configuration mode is set to DHCP.
