Command Line Interface
All configuration parameters are set using the Command Line Interface (CLI). The CLI is accessed through the network,
using a telnet client, or through the serial port, or data modem using a terminal client. In iBootBar clusters, all remote
iBootBars can be configured and managed through the connection to the Master iBootBar. It is also possible to access,
configure and control any Expansion iBootBars directly.
Open a telnet client and point it to the current IP Address of the iBootBar. (Factory Default is
192.168.0.254
)
Connect to the Serial port or via PSTN connection to the modem (-M versions) (Factory Default is
115200,8,n,1
)
Upon connection, press Enter, then enter the username and password when prompted
(Factory Default for username and password is
admin
)
A complete list of commands and syntax is found on page 16.
Setting the IP Address
iBootBars comes with factory default IP address 192.168.0.254.
There are three techniques to setting the IP address of the iBootBar.
1. Terminal Client software via Telnet, Serial, Modem.
2. Automatically from a DHCP Server
3. ARP / Ping (factory default)
To configure the mode to set the IP address, access the iBootBar’s command line interface (CLI) and use the set
ipmode command as indicated below.
Setting the IP address using CLI
These are the basic commands to set the network parameters. After setting these parameters, the iBootBar will need to
be rebooted for the settings to take effect. Any command that requires rebooting of the iBootBar will provide a prompt to
do so. All commands may be entered as required before rebooting.
Example: Telnet to default IP address 192.168.0.254
