ifconfig
Use the "ifconfig" command to view and configure TCP/IP (IP address, subnet
mask, broadcast address, default gateway address) for the printer.
❖ View settings
msh> ifconfig
❖ IPv4 Configuration
msh> ifconfig “interface_name” “parameter” “address”
• If you did not enter an interface name, it is automatically set to the Ethernet interface.
• wlan can be specified only when the IEEE 802.11b interface is installed.
The following explains how to configure an IPv4 address 192.168.15.16 on
Ethernet interface.
msh> ifconfig ether 192.168.15.16
❖ IPv6 Configuration
msh> ifconfig ether inet6 “interface_name ” “prefixlen”
The following explains how to configure a IPv6 address to 2001:DB8::100 with
prefix length 64 on the Ethernet interface.
msh> ifconfig ether inet6 2001:DB8::100 64
❖ Netmask configuration
msh> ifconfig “interface_name” netmask “address”
The following explains how to configure a subnet mask 255.255.255.0 on
Ethernet interface.
msh> ifconfig ether netmask 255.255.255.0
❖ Broadcast address configuration
msh> ifconfig “interface_name” broadcast “address”
❖ Changing the Interface
msh> ifconfig “interface” up
• You can specify either the Ethernet interface or IEEE 802.11b interface
when using the optional IEEE 802.11b interface unit.
Note
❒ To get the above addresses, contact your network administrator.
❒ Use the default configuration if you cannot obtain setting addresses.
❒ The IP address, subnet mask and broadcast address are the same as that for
the ethernet interface and IEEE 802.11b interface.
❒ TCP/IP configuration is the same for both Ethernet and IEEE 802.11 interface.
If interfaces are changed, the new interface inherits the configuration.
❒ Use “0x” as the initial two letters of a hexadecimal address.
