Configuration with the CLI
27
2 Set a default gateway. Default gateways must be on the same subnet.
You also need to supply a metric (hop count) for each type of default
gateway. Possible values range from 1 (default) to 15. Since the actual
metric of a default gateway is only one hop, the value entered here is
used to control the perceived cost of the gateway to other routers on
your network. For example, a high metric limits the number of hops that
the route is broadcast and may cause other routers to see it as a less
preferable route.
To add the default gateway, use the following command:
add ip defaultroute gateway <default route gateway ip
address> metric <integer>
Example:
add ip defaultroute gateway 192.75.202.40 metric 1
Check the default route setting with the list ip routes command.
Step Four:
Configure IPX
To configure the RAS 1500 LAN interface on an IPX network, you must:
■
Determine the IPX network number
■
Set the RAS 1500 IPX parameters
■
Specify Frame Type
Even if your network uses only the IPX protocol, you must still set up an IP
address for the RAS 1500, if you want to use the Web Management
Interface later.
Determining the IPX Network Number
If your network uses the IPX protocol, you must first enter the IPX
network number of the segment connected to the RAS 1500 LAN port.
You can find this network number using the Novell CONFIG utility.
For File Servers Running Novell Version 3.xx
1 Go to the console of a file server that is on the same network segment as
the RAS 1500.
2 From the Novell Console program press
C-E
, then
E
, until the colon (
:
)
prompt appears. Select System Console and press the Return key.
