Changing the Network Settings
The DA-681-LX computer has6 Ethernet ports named LAN1 to LAN6. The LAN Port Expansion Module supports
an additional four 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports named LAN5 to LAN8. The default IP addresses and netmasks
of the network interfaces are as follows:
Default IP Address
Netmask
LAN 1
192.168.3.127
255.255.255.0
LAN 2
192.168.4.127
255.255.255.0
LAN 3
192.168.5.127
255.255.255.0
LAN 4
192.168.6.127
255.255.255.0
LAN 5
192.168.5.127
255.255.255.0
LAN 6
192.168.6.127
255.255.255.0
These network settings can be modified by changing the
interfaces
configuration file, or they can be adjusted
temporarily with the
ifconfig
command.
Changing the “interfaces” Configuration File
1.
Type
cd /etc/network
to change directory.
MOXA:~# cd /etc/network
2.
Type
vi interfaces
to edit the network configuration file with
vi
editor. You can configure the DA-681-LX’s
Ethernet ports for static or dynamic (DHCP) IP addresses.
MOXA:/etc/network# vi interfaces
Static IP Address
As shown in the example shown below, the default static IP addresses can be modified.
# The loopback network interface
auto lo eth0 eth1 eth2 eth3 eth4 eth5
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.3.127
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.3.255
allow-hotplug eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.4.127
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.4.255
allow-hotplug eth2
iface eth2 inet static
address 192.168.5.127
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.5.255
