Modifying default
ethernet
settings
With the default settings, the Gigabit Ethernet interface is fully operational. The
following commands enable autonegotiation, to help ensure compatibility with other
Gigabit Ethernet interfaces that can negotiate between full-duplex and half-duplex
operations. (The IP2000 Gigabit Ethernet always operates in full-duplex mode.)
admin> read ethernet { 1 8 2 }
admin> set auto-negotiate = yes
admin> write -f
Assigning an IP address in the
ip-interface
profile
For details about the
ip-interface
profile, and about enabling dynamic routing or
configuring static routes to enable the system to communicate beyond its own
subnet, see “Configuring ip-interface profiles for Ethernet ports” on page 4-6. The
following commands provide the minimal configuration of an IP address for the
Gigabit Ethernet interface:
admin> read ip-interface { { 1 8 2 } 0 }
admin> set ip-address = 10.99.99.101/24
admin> write -f
Verifying the Gigabit Ethernet interface setup
After you assign an IP address, you can verify that the Gigabit Ethernet interface is
able to handle IP traffic by checking some command output. For details about the
netstat
and
gmac
commands, see the Stinger Reference.
You can also use the debug-level
ifmgr -d
command to verify that the Gigabit
Ethernet interface is active. This is described in Appendix A, “IP2000 Diagnostics.”
Checking the routing table
The following command output verifies that the routing table has an entry for the
Gigabit Ethernet interface (IP address 100.1.1.3/32):
admin> netstat -rn
Destination Gateway IF Flg Pref Met Use Age
0.0.0.0/0 1.1.2.1 ie0 SGP 60 1 3817 828
bridging-options
Not used by the IP2000. If you are configuring VLANs, you
set bridging options in the
vlan-ethernet
profile (not
in the
ethernet
profile). For details, see Chapter 3,
media-speed-mbit
This setting is read-only and specifies 1Gbps.
auto-negotiate
Setting this parameter to
yes
does not cause the IP2000
to negotiate its duplex mode or speed, but it does cause
the system to advertise a full-duplex 1Gbps port , which
helps to ensure compatibility with remote Gigabit
Ethernet interfaces that support autonegotiation.
