Chapter 2: Installation and Setup
Procedure 8: Set the IP Address
SmartBits 600x/6000x Installation Guide | 47
Setting the IP Address via Telnet
Telnet uses the same commands that are available on the console port and provides a
means for Spirent’s Customer Support group to access a customer’s SmartBits chassis for
troubleshooting. In the following example we are using a SmartBits 600x chassis.
To set the IP Address via Telnet:
1 Start a telnet session on your PC or workstation using your preferred Telnet Interface
software.
2 Connect to the SmartBits 600x chassis by providing the chassis default IP address
(192.168.0.100) to the Telnet software. You should see the following prompt:
SmartBits SMB-600 Chassis

login:
3 At the prompt, type:
login <enter>
4 Once connected, you should see the same command prompt, “>>”, as if you are
connected over the console port.
5 Follow steps 10 through 13 on page 46.
6 To disconnect from the chassis, type:
quit <enter>
