2.5.1 Assigning a Static IP Address
There are two ways to setup a permanent static IP address, after connecting VersaSync to a
DHCP network:
Assigning a Static IP Address Using the CLI:
Note: For your reference, the command helpcli produces a list of available com-
mands. Press the space key to display the next page, or the b key to display the
previous page. To leave the VI editor, press Q or Ctrl C.
Open the serial console (e.g., by using TeraTerm)
1.
Disable DHCP – Command: dhcp4set <x> off (where x is 0/1 for ETH0 and ETH1,
respectively).
2.
Set the static IP address – Command: ip4set <x>.<IP address>.<subnet
mask> Example: ip4set 0 10.2.100.245 255.255.0.0
If required, also set your gateway address: gw4set <x> <gateway address>
3.
Verify that the address has been accepted – Command: net
4.
If so required, turn DHCP back on – Command: dhcp4set [x] on
Assigning a Static IP Address Using the Web UI:
1.
Enter the assigned dynamic IP address obtained during setup ("Initial Network Setup" on
page27) into the address field of your browser (on a computer connected to the Ver-
saSync network). If the network supports DNS, the hostname may also be entered instead
(the default hostname is "Spectracom"). The start screen of the VersaSync Web UI will be
displayed.
2.
Log into the Web UI as an administrator. The factory-default user name and password
are:
Username: spadmin
Password: admin123
3.
Disable DHCP by navigating to MANAGEMENT > Network Setup. In the Ports panel on
the right, click the GEAR icon next to the Ethernet Port you are using. In the Edit Ethernet
Port Settings window, uncheck the Enable DHCPv4 field. Do NOT click Submit or Apply
yet.
4.
In the fields below the Enable DHCPv4 checkbox, enter the desired Static IP address, Net-
mask, and Gateway address (if required). Click Submit.
For subnet mask values, see "Subnet Mask Values" on the next page.
