Basic interface settings
All the mbox hardware comes with Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and each interface by default is in routing/Layer-3 mode. The logical interfaces are configured for specific purposes and they require specific settings, which are illustrated in other sections.
Below is a list of common settings available for all interfaces:
enable or disable
ip address setting (mbox support multiple IP addresses per physical or logical interface, for both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses).
MAC address setting. It is possible to change the default MAC address of each interface. Only do this for a specific reason that you’re fully aware of.
MTU size
duplex and speed (physical interface only)
CONFIGURATION STEPS
access to mbox through console or CLI
identify the interface that you wish to configure
enter into interface configuration mode and change specific settings
please add "ip default-gateway x.x.x.x" if you're not using DHCP to get WAN IP.
