IV.4 - Network interface
IV.4.1 - Identification
To correctly initialize the network connection, use the
ifconfig
command to enter the
following parameters :
p
IP address
. The location of your Xcell on the network. This address consists in four
numbers separated by dots (.), valid values for each of the four numbers are whole
numbers between 1 and 254, for example "
192.168.2.3
".
p
Network mask
(netmask). It is a number similar to IP address, which determines what
address is specified by the network and what place on this network is specified by your
Xcell. For an IP address "
192.168.2.3
", if you enter
255.255.255.0
" as a mask value,
this means that your network address is "
192.168.2.0
".
p
The maximal transfer unit system
(MTU). On an Ethernet system the MTU value is
commonly established at 1500.
p
Broadcast address
. By default, this address is the one of the system with 255 in place
of the machine address. For a network address "
192.168.2.0
", broadcast address will
be "
192.168.2.255
".
By default, network mask is configured at "
255.255.255.0
" (class C) and the MTU at 1500
(Ethernet). Only in some particular cases, you have to change these values.
IV.4.2 - Route checking with PING command
In order to check if Xcell is can be reached inside the network, you can run the ping
command :
ROOT>> ping 192.168.1.20
machine IP address on the
network
PING 192.168.1.20 (192.168.1.20): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.1.20: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0.6 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.20: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=38.2 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.20: icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=2.7 ms
