Assign a Static IP Address
If DHCP support is not enabled, set a static IP address for the unit:
1.
Create a
network.conf
file on a USB stick that contains the following
entries with IPv4 address, Default Gateway, and Prefix appropriate to the
user’s network.
NOTE: The Prefix is equivalent to the number of bits turned on in the Subnet Mask
(e.g., the Prefix for the mask 255.255.255.0 is 24).
BOND0_IP4_CONFIG=static
BOND0_IP4_ADDR=192.168.10.111
BOND0_IP4_GW=192.168.10.1
BOND0_IP4_PREFIX=24
2.
Insert the stick
in the USB port on the front of the unit and wait at least
two minutes for the
network.conf
file to update.
The Remote Management Console should now be available at the static IP
address selected. For more information on how to configure IP addresses,
refer to the
RDX QuikStation User Guide.
