Configuring the CPSW Ethernet Port
To use the Ethernet port on a CPSW module, you must first configure the following:
Ÿ The Internet Protocol (IP) address
Ÿ
The subnet mask used for your class of Internet device.
Ÿ The Ethernet MAC address. A burned-in address (BIA) is supplied with each CPSW module (displayed
via the SHOW INVENTORY VERBOSE command). You can redefine this address with a locally
administered address (LAA). Once an LAA has been assigned, you can always return to the BIA, by
entering a MAC address of 000000000000.
Setting the IP Address and Subnet Mask
The IP address and subnet mask for the Ethernet port can be configured when in either Adminstrator or
Maintenance Mode.
Administrator Mode:
When in Adminstrator mode, the IP address and subnet mask can be
configured in one command, SET DEVICE IP_ADDRESS.
The following example defines the Ethernet port IP address as 9.100.109.25 and the subnet mask as
ff.ff.ff.00:
à ð
8265ATM
>
set device ip_address eth 9.1ðð.1ð9.25 ff.ff.ff.ðð
á ñ
Maintenance Mode:
When in Maintenance mode, the IP address and subnet mask are configured
by two separate commands, SET IP_ADDRESS and SET SUBNET_MASK.
The following example defines the Ethernet port IP address as 9.100.109.25:
à ð
8265ATM
>
set ip_address 9.1ðð.1ð9.25
á ñ
The following example defines the subnet mask ff.ff.ff.00:
à ð
8265ATM
>
set subnet_mask ff.ff.ff.ðð
á ñ
