Remote access to the command line interface
From any computer on the same network as the Network Management Card, you can use ARP and Ping to assign an IP address to the
Network Management Card, and then use Telnet to access its command line interface and configure the other TCP/IP settings.
Note:
After the Network Management Card has its IP address configured, you can use Telnet, without first using ARP and Ping, to
access that Network Management Card.
1.
Use the MAC address of the Network Management Card in the ARP command to define the IP address.
Note:
Look for the MAC address on the bottom of the Network Management Card or on the Quality Assurance slip included in the
package.
For example, to define 156.205.14.141 as the IP address of a Network Management Card with 00 c0 b7 63 9f 67 as its MAC address,
use one of the following commands:
•
Windows command format:
arp -s 156.205.14.141 00-c0-b7-63-9f-67
•
LINUX command format:
arp -s 156.205.14.141 00:c0:b7:63:9f:67
2.
Use Ping with a size of 113 bytes to assign the IP address defined by the ARP command. For the IP address defined in step 1,
use one of the following commands:
•
Windows command format:
ping 156.205.14.141 -l 113
•
LINUX command format:
ping 156.205.14.141 -s 113
3.
Use Telnet to access the Network Management Card at its newly assigned IP address. For example:
telnet 156.205.14.141
4.
Use apc for both user name and password.
See “Command line interface” on page 10 to finish the configuration.
Command line interface
After you log on at the command line interface, as described in “Local access to the command line interface” on page 13 or “Remote
access to the command line interface” on page 10, you can manually configure network settings.
1.
Contact your network administrator to obtain the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway for the Network Management
Card.
2.
Use these three commands to configure network settings. (Text in italics indicates a variable.)
a.
tcpip -i yourIPaddress
b.
tcpip -s yourSubnetMask
c.
tcpip
-g
yourDefaultGateway
For each variable, type a numeric value that has the format
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
.
For example, to set a system IP address of 156.205.14.141, type the following command and press Enter:
tcpip -i 156.205.14.141
Type
exit
. The Network Management Card restarts to apply the changes.
