The netparam command displays or sets non-volatile networking parameters stored in the flash EPROM of Ethernet TAP probe. Entered without options, it displays all current settings. To change parameters, specify one or more options. To activate new settings, the unit must be rebooted.

[static_ip_address address[:mask]]]
| <null> | |
| Reports the current configuration. | |
| add_host host ip_address | |
| Adds a hostname-address pair to the static host table. Table entries are automatically entered into the system on reset. | |
| host | Name to associate with the address ip_address. |
| ip_address | IP address to use for host, specified in dotted-decimal notation. |
| add_routehostgatewayhop_# | |
| Adds a route to Ethernet TAP probe static route table. Table entries are automatically entered into the system on reset. If the specified parameters are invalid for the operating network, they are not stored. | |
| host | Destination IP address of host or host network, specified in dotted-decimal notation. Default is a valid entry for host, and equivalent to 0.0.0.0. |
| gateway | Gateway IP address for probe, specified in dotted-decimal notation. |
| hop_# | Decimal number of gateway hops between Ethernet TAP probe and destination host or network. |
| bootconfig {static | dhcp }[:host] | |
| Sets the IP address resolution protocol. It determines the boot method of Ethernet TAP probe. Use bootconfig to connect to the network either by DHCP or by storing the IP address in the flash EPROM of Ethernet TAP probe. When using DHCP, you can specify the host name that you would like the probe to try to register with a name server when it acquires its network configuration. The factory assigned host name is FSLXXYYZZ, where XXYYZZ is the last three octets of the Ethernet MAC address, provided on a label on the bottom side of the probe. For example, if the probe's Ethernet MAC address is 00:00:f6:00:77:31, the default host name will be FSL007731. |
|
| static | Use IP address stored in Ethernet TAP probe. |
| dhcp | Use the network DHCP protocol to resolve IP address, netmask, and default gateway. (default) |
| :host | Host name for the Ethernet TAP probe. If dhcp is specified, the probe will attempt to register this host name with the DHCP server. There should be no white space before :host. The efind search utility will report the host name of the probe for both the dhcp and static options. |
| delete_host hostip_address | |
| Deletes a hostname-address pair from the static host table. | |
| host | Name of host to remove. |
| ip_address | IP address to remove, specified in dotted-decimal notation. |
| delete_route host gateway | |
| Deletes a route from the static route table. | |
| host | Destination IP address of host or host network. |
| gateway | Ethernet TAP probe gateway IP address, specified in dotted-decimal notation. |
| rip_enable {yes | no} | |
| Enables or disables use of Routing Information Protocol (RIP) for automatic handling of network routing. | |
| yes | Enables using RIP. |
| no | Disables use of RIP (default, unless previously enabled). |
| rip_method {broadcast | multicast} | |
| Specifies the broadcast methods used by RIP on your network. (Default=broadcast) | |
| rip_version {1 | 2} | |
| Specifies which version of Routing Information Protocol is in use on your system. 1=RIP (default); 2=RIP2. | |
| static_ip_address address[:mask] | |
| Sets the Ethernet TAP probe IP address and optional netmask. | |
| address | IP address in dotted-decimal format (e.g., 128.8.1.1). When entering the IP address by itself (without also entering the netmask), the Ethernet TAP probe uses the standard netmask assigned to that IP address. |
| mask | Netmask in hex format (e.g., FFFF0000) or dotted-decimal format (e.g., 255.255.0.0). If subnetting is required, you must store the netmask by entering it on the same command line, immediately following the IP address. |
