Establishing Basic IP Connectivity
7 ESTABLISHING BASIC IP
CONNECTIVITY
This chapter explains how to establish network-based connections to and from your SmartNode
using IP interfaces and Ethernet ports. Configuring basic IP connectivity is carried out in both the
context IP
and the subsidiary
interface
command modes. For a complete description of the IP context
and interface configuration related commands referred to in this chapter, see Chapter
11
, “
IP Context
Overview
”, and Chapter 12, “
IP Interface Configuration
” in this guide. Moreover refer to Chapter
15, “Interface Mode”, in the SmartWare
Command Reference Guide
for IP Interface related command
descriptions.
The chapter includes the following sections:
•
Introduction
•
IP Context Selection and Basic Interface Configuration Tasks
•
Examples
7.1 Introduction
The predefined IP context in SmartWare contains the functionality of a classic IP router. Within the
IP context packets are routed between IP interfaces in accordance with the routing table. The
following sections guide you through all the steps necessary to establish network-based IP
connectivity to and from your SmartNode.
7.2 IP Context Selection and Basic Interface Configuration
Tasks
The basic tasks involved in configuring an IP context, the related interfaces and ports are:
•
Enter the IP Context, Create IP Interfaces and Assign an IP Address
•
Define IP Ethernet Encapsulation and Bind IP Interface to a Physical Port
•
Activate the Physical Port
•
Display IP Interface Information
•
Delete IP Interfaces
After you have entered the IP context and performed the basic configuration tasks, configuration of
additional protocols and services such as RIP, ICMP and NAPT is possible for your IP context.
7.3 Enter the IP Context, Create IP Interfaces and Assign
an IP Address
The SmartWare application software running on your SmartNode has a predefined IP context, which
has to be selected for the configuration procedure. An IP interface name can be any arbitrary string of
not more than 25 characters. Use self-explanatory names for your IP interfaces which reflect their
usage. Each IP interface needs its explicit IP address and an appropriate net mask to be set.
Procedure
To enter the IP context, create an IP interface and assign an IP address with appropriate net mask
