Configuration of Network Settings

Setting the IP address

The network settings can be found in /etc/conf.d/net.eth0.

The net.eth0 file must first be adapted to assign a permanent IP address to the LinuxBox. There are several possibilities to do this:

Configuration tool for Windows:
In order to understand how to configure the IP address with the configuration tool, please read the First start-up page.

Configuration of the IP address over the web interface:
In the Functions menu you will find the item Edit network settings for eth0.
You have the option to edit the /etc/conf.d/net.eth0 file directly to change the IP address. On how to acces the web interface, please read the page WEB access to the Linux Box.

WEB-Interface: Network settings in /etc/conf.d/net.eth0

To save after changing the network settings click Save file.

Configuration with FTP:
Download the configuration file /etc/conf.d/net-eth0 with FTP, then change the network settings as desired, and load the changed file to the LinuxBox.

For accessing the LinuxBox with a ftp connection, please read FTP access to the LinuxBox.

Testing the IP address settings:

To test the network settings, first restart the LinuxBox. With ping you can determine whether the settings of the IP address have been permanently adopted or not.

How to assign a temporary IP address with ping and arp is described on the IP address setting (ipsetd) page.

Restart:
Switch off your voltage supply and switch it on again after a short waiting period. Wait until the LinuxBox has started up again and enter:

The file /etc/conf.d/net-eth0
