Changing the IP address
You can set your IP address and network mask for the interface
ETH 0 (LAN)
. Within this example a network
192.168.1.1/24 address is assumed. The IP address in this example is set to
192.168.1.1
(you should set this
the IP address given to you by your network provider).
Trinity# configure
Trinity[config]# interface ethernet eth0
Trinity[eth-eth0]# no ip address 192.168.200.10
Trinity[eth-eth0]# ip address 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
Copy this modified configuration to your new start-up configuration. This will store your changes in non-vol-
atile memory. Upon the next start-up the system will initialize itself using the modified configuration.

copy running-config startup-config

The IpLink can now be connected to your network.
3. Connecting the IpLink to the network
In general, the IpLink will connect to the network via the
LAN (ETH 0)
port. This enables the IpLink to offer
routing services to the PC hosts on
LAN (ETH 1)
port. The IpLink 2888 Series is equipped with Auto-MDX
Ethernet ports, so you can use straight-through or crossover cables for host or hub/switch connections.
You can check the connection with the ping command from the IpLink to another host on the network.
Trinity#ping <IP Address of the host>
Note
If the WAN address is
not
set to DHCP, to ping a device outside your local
LAN you must first configure the default gateway.
Note
