Network Configuration via CLI

Network Configuration via CLI

Example of configuring the ETH0 interface via CLI (please, replace the network values with your own information).
  1. Log in as admin to the Nodegrid console port or HDMI
  2. Type the following commands (in bold):
[admin@nodegrid /]# cd settings/network_connections/ETH0/
[admin@nodegrid ETH0]# set ipv4_mode=static
[+admin@nodegrid ETH0]# set ipv4_address=10.0.0.10 ipv4_bitmask=24 ipv4_gateway=10.0.0.1
[+admin@nodegrid ETH0]# show
name: ETH0
type: ethernet
ethernet_interface = eth0
description =
connect_automatically = yes
set_as_primary_connection = yes
enable_lldp = no
ipv4_mode = static
ipv4_address = 10.0.0.10
ipv4_bitmask = 24
ipv4_gateway = 10.0.0.1
ipv4_dns_server =
ipv4_dns_search =
ipv6_mode = address_auto_configuration
ipv6_dns_server =
ipv6_dns_search =
[+admin@nodegrid ETH0]# commit
[admin@nodegrid ETH0]# exit

Repeat the same steps for ETH1, if required.

After this configuration, you can continue other settings by accessing Nodegrid's web portal from a browser, or continue using CLI. Check our Help Center for other articles on configuring Nodegrid via CLI.
