Ethernet Port Variables

ip_mode

Use this variable to control how RSC configures the IP address for its local Ethernet port. Choose the ip_mode value according to the services available on the network to which RSC is connected. The following list describes the available values.

• none - Ethernet port is disabled and is not accessible.

• dhcp - Use the dhcp protocol to obtain the IP address.

• config - Use the ip_addr configuration variable to obtain the IP address.

The default setting is dhcp. Changes to this variable take effect after the next RSC reset.

ip_addr

This variable is only used if the ip_mode variable is set to config. Specify the IP address in standard Internet dot notation; the default setting is 0.0.0.0 (empty). Changes to this variable take effect after the next RSC reset.

ip_netmask

This variable is only used if the ip_mode variable is set to config. Specify the subnet mask in standard Internet dot notation; the default setting is 0.0.0.0 (empty). Changes to this variable take effect after the next RSC reset.

ip_gateway

This variable is only used if the ip_mode variable is set to config. This is the default gateway to which RSC will send IP packets when the destination is not on the same subnet as RSC. Specify the IP address in standard Internet dot notation; the default setting is 0.0.0.0 (empty). Changes to this variable take effect after the next RSC reset.
