IP Address Configuration Getting Started
3 - 2
3.1 IP Address Configuration
When using IPX or LAT, it is possible to power up the MSS and have it work
properly with no additional conÞguration required. However, for TCP/IP
use, an IP address must be conÞgured for the MSS before any TCP/IP
functionality is available. There are three ways to conÞgure the IP address:
1.
Using EZWebCon
2.
Using an ARP entry and the ping command from a network host
3.
Using a host DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP server
4.
Using the serial console
3.1.1 Using EZWebCon
The MSS must have an IP address before you can log into it using EZWebCon.
To assign the IP address from EZWebCon:
1. Start EZWebCon. Instructions for installing, running, and using
EZWebCon can be found on the distribution CD-ROM.
2. Click on the Lantronix logo menu in the bottom left corner of the
EZWebCon window, then select
Assign IP Address to Server
.
3. Fill in the following information:
A. The last three bytes of the MSSÕs hardware address. The
hardware address is printed on the bottom of the Server.
B. The desired IP address.
C. The subnet, if you wish to use a subnet other than the default.
D. The IP address of the TFTP server you wish to use, if desired.
4. Click
OK
.
5. Cycle power on the server. EZWebCon will let you know whether
the conÞguration was successful.
3.1.2 Using an ARP Entry and the Ping Command
The ARP/ping method is available under UNIX, Windows 95, and Windows
NT. If the MSS has no IP address, it will set its address from the Þrst directed
IP packet it receives.
