3.2.1 Configuring your ethernet-board

  1. Enter the following to configure the interface:
    # ifconfig <if> inet <ip-number> netmask <netmask> broadcast <broadcast>
    
    <if> is the network-interface of your ethernet-board as it was printed during system startup. A2065 and Ameristar are probed as le0 (or le1 if it's the second card), Ariadne is ae0, .... You can list all known network-devices with either ifconfig -a or netstat -i. For example, I can use the following commands to configure DUSK (which has a A2065):
    # ifconfig le0 inet 132.199.15.99 netmask 255.255.255.0 \
                   broadcast 132.199.15.255
    
  2. If you've got a defaultrouter on your network, route all unknown packets to it:
    # route add default <defaultrouter-ip>
    
    E.g.
    # route add default 132.199.15.1
    
  3. After that, you can try to reach several hosts on the local and other networks with the ping-command. Here's what I did on DUSK to check if everything's fine (please refer to Picture 1):
    # ping 132.199.15.99            # dusk.rz.uni-regensburg.de
    # ping 132.199.15.100           # dawn.rz.uni-regensburg.de
    # ping 132.199.15.1             # rzi.rz.uni-regensburg.de
    # ping 132.199.1.202            # ftp.uni-regensburg.de
    # ping 128.252.135.4            # wuarchive.wustl.edu
