PremierWave XN User Guide 32
6: Network Settings
The Network Settings show the status of the Ethernet or WLAN interface/link and let you configure
the settings on the device. Interface settings are related to the configuration of the IP and related
protocols. Link settings are related to the physical link connection, which carries the IP traffic.
The PremierWave XN contains two network interfaces. Only one interface may be active at a
time; however, if bridging is enabled, both interfaces will be activated and controlled by the
bridging subsystem.The Ethernet interface is also called interface 1 or eth0, and the WLAN
interface is called interface 2 or wlan0.
Notes:
Some settings require a reboot to take effect. These settings are noted below.
Wait a minimum of 10-20 seconds after rebooting the unit before attempting to make
any subsequent connections.
The blue text in the XML command strings of this chapter are to be replaced with a
user-specified name.
Network Interface Settings
Table 6-1 shows the network interface settings that can be configured.
These settings apply to both the Ethernet (eth0) and WLAN (wlan0) interfaces, but are configured
independently for each interface.
