Configuration
Assigning an IP Address to the BROADway System
Assigning a Different IP Address
If you plan to use network interface bridging support in your BROAD way system, you must create a
bridge virtual interface (BVI) to create the IP address for management access, as described in Creating
a Bridge Virtual Interface (BVI) on page 3-5. Otherwise, perform the following procedure.
To assign a different IP address to the BROAD way system:
1. Connect your PC to the serial port SCP-1 on the BROAD way chassis using a null modem cable
provided with the chassis (note SCP-2 is for future use).
2. On your PC open a terminal emulation window, for example, HyperTerminal. The terminal
emulation software should be set to VT100 emulation, 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity and 1
stop bit. Both hardware and software flow control options are disabled.
NOTE:
If your terminal emulation software has the ability to configure a delay before
sending information, make sure this is set for 10 ms.
3. In your terminal emulation window, press ENTER, and you should see the prompt NSP1> or
NSP2> , depending upon which NSP101 card is currently active.
4. Log in to the BROAD way system using the following TL1 command:
ACT-USER::NSP:1234::CUSTOMER,BROADWAY;
NOTE:
The initial BROAD way system has one default user account that is an
administrative account. The case-sensitive user name of this default account is
CUSTOMER , and the case-sensitive password of this default account is BROADWAY .
You can use this default account to assign an IP address to the BROAD way system.
5. Switch to the Packet Services command line interface by typing
ps
and pressing ENTER. You
will see the
PS#
prompt.
6. Type
configure
and press ENTER. This enables a configuration mode; your prompt will
change to
PS(config)#
.
7. Type
interface ethernet 0
and press ENTER.
8. Type
ip address <address> <mask>
and press ENTER, where
<address>
is the IP
address of the system, and
<mask>
is the appropriate subnet mask (typically 255.255.255.0 for
a standard class C subnet).
9. Type
exit
and press ENTER (to the
PS(config)#
prompt).
10. Type
exit
and press ENTER (to the
PS#
prompt).
11. Type
save running-config
and press ENTER to save the changes you made.
12. Type
exit
and press ENTER to leave the PS prompt and return to the NSP prompt.
13. Close your terminal emulation window.
After assigning an IP address to your system, you can use either Ethernet port ( ETH-1 and/or ETH-2 )
for network connectivity (as described in Cabling the Ethernet Port on page 2-9).
If at any point you need to change the initial IP address assigned to the BROAD way system, you can do
so as described in the online help.
