Network Settings

Configuring Ethernet Interfaces

After the first login, you can configure the UC-8410A-LX’s network settings to better fit your application. A

serial console makes it more convenient for you to manipulate the network interface settings, which can help

you to avoid reconnections, when compared to an SSH login.

Modifying Network Settings via the Serial Console

In this section, we use the serial console to configure the UC-8410A-LX’s network settings. Follow the

instructions given in the Connecting to the UC-8410A-LX section to access the console utility of the target

UC-8410A via the serial console port, and then type

Moxa:~# cd /etc/network to change directories.

moxa@Moxa:~$ cd /etc/network/

moxa@Moxa:/etc/network/~$

Type Moxa:~# sudo vi interfaces to edit the network configuration file with the vi editor. You can

configure the UC-8410A-LX’s Ethernet ports to use either

static or dynamic (DHCP) IP addresses.

Setting a Static IP Address

To set a static IP address for the UC-8410A-LX, use the iface command to modify the address, network,

netmask, and broadcast parameters of the Ethernet interface.
