The DHCP Client service can be set or removed for each Ethernet interface using the commands:
set eth0|eth1 dhcp-client
set eth0|eth1 no-dhcp-client
To specify the timeout of the table, you can use:
set eth0|eth1 arp-timeout N
In order to add an entry to the host list the following CLI command is used:
set host <ip_address> <HOSTNAME>
In order to remove it the command is:
set no-host <ip_address>
For example, in order to add host 10.7.10.10 with hostname MyHost:
set host 10.7.10.10 myhost
and in order to delete it from the list the command is:
set no-host 10.7.10.10
It is also possible to activate one or more secondary addresses on each Ethernet interface. These
secondary addresses are called alias. In order to set or remove an alias interface the following CLI
command is used:
set alias|no-alias <interface> ipaddr <alias_ip_addr> netmask <netmask>
For example, in order to set or remove the alias with IP address 10.10.10.3/24
on the eth0 interface the following command can be used:
set alias eth0 ipaddr 10.10.10.3 netmask 255.255.255.0
set no-alias eth0 ipaddr 10.10.10.3 netmask 255.255.255.0
If it is an IPv6 address the command is:
set no-alias eth0 ipv6addr X:X::X:X/M
It is possible to activate (or deactivate) a description of the Ethernet interface given back by the
SNMP agent (if configured and active), by querying the Mib_II ifDescr variable, using the
following commands:
set eth0|eth1 description|no-description <value>
It is possible to set the type of Ethernet connection avoiding the auto negotiation process:
set eth0|eth1 speed <my description>
where value can have one of the following values:
100BaseT4 100BaseTx-FD 10BaseT 10BaseT-HD
100BaseTx 100BaseTx-HD 10BaseT-FD 1000BaseT-FD 1000BaseT-HD
In case the switch is present, the connection parameters must be set by specific commands, which
are described in the relative switch section.
On Imola-LX models and Lipari as well, there is only the eth0 port.
