To configure a static IP address for the AirShield, access to the device's local console is required. This can be through the RJ45 serial cable connection or via SSH over the existing IP network.

The airshield username and password is required to access the console from the serial port. Through SSH the private key is required. Open a ticket here for access to this information.

This document assumes access to the AirShield device console has been obtained.

Configure IPv4 Addressing

To configure a static IPv4 Address, use the following three commands:

• set ethernet ip address [ip address]
• set ethernet ip mask [ip mask]
• set ethernet ip gateway [ip gateway]

[062018v2a10179] > set ethernet ip address 10.128.1.9
[062018v2a10179] > set ethernet ip mask 255.255.255.0
[062018v2a10179] > set ethernet ip gateway 10.128.1.254
[062018v2a10179] > show config
