5: Quick Setup This chapter helps get the IP network port up and running, so you can administer the EMG using your network. Recommendations To set up the network connections, we suggest you do one of the following:  Complete the Quick Setup (see Figure 5-2) on the web interface.  SSH to the command line interface and follow the Quick Setup script on the command line interface.  Connect to the console port and follow the Quick Setup script on the command line interface. Note: The first time you power up the EMG unit, Eth1 tries to obtain its IP address via DHCP. If you have connected Eth1 to the network, and Eth1 is able to acquire an IP address, you can view this IP address by running the Lantronix Provisioning Manager application. If Eth1 cannot acquire an IP address, you cannot use Telnet, SSH, or the web interface to run Quick Setup. IP Address Your EMG must have a unique IP address on your network. The system administrator generally provides the IP address and corresponding subnet mask and gateway. The IP address must be within a valid range and unique to your network. If a valid gateway address has not been assigned the IP address must be on the same subnet as workstations connecting to the EMG over the network. The following table lists the options for assigning an IP address to your EMG unit. Table 5-1 Methods of Assigning an IP Address Method DHCP BOOTP Serial port login to command line interface Description A DHCP server automatically assigns the IP address and network settings. The EMG is DHCP-enabled by default. With the Eth1 network port connected to the network, and the EMG unit powered up, Eth1 acquires an IP address. At this point, you can use SSH or use the web interface to connect to the EMG. Non-dynamic predecessor to DHCP. You assign an IP address and configure the EMG unit using a terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program to the EMG serial console port connection. EMG™ Edge Management Gateway User Guide 63
