•
<IOM> = 03 (IOMA & IOMB)
•
<IOM A Setting> = 00 (static) or 01 (DHCP)
•
<IOM A IPaddr> = The IP address in four pairs of two-digit hex codes
•
<IOM A Netmask> = The netmask, in four pairs of two-digit hex codes
•
<IOM A Gateway> = The gateway, in four pairs of two-digit hex codes
•
<IOM B Setting> = 00 (static) or 01 (DHCP)
•
<IOM B IPaddr> = The IP address in four pairs of two-digit hex codes
•
<IOM B Netmask> = The netmask, in four pairs of two-digit hex codes
•
<IOM B Gateway> = The gateway, in four pairs of two-digit hex codes
The result, after setting the two static addresses in
:
e3,01,00,30,03,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,C0,A8,00,0A,FF,FF,FF,00,C0,A8,00,01,
00,00,00,00,C0,A8,00,0A,FF,FF,FF,00,C0,A8,00,01 <dev>
The result, when IOM B is not booting (no IP):
e3,01,00,30,03,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,C0,A8,00,0A,FF,FF,FF,00,C0,A8,00,01,
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00 <dev>
Note:
Setting an invalid gateway will result in that field being zeroed-out.
