Configuration

Logging onto the Host

Give yourself an IP in the same network as the ePinger machines. For example, you can give yourself 140.105.28.30 with netmask 255.255.255.128. You can then connect with any network cable to the Alix board and follow the instructions you already have. Of course, keep in mind that if you change the IP of the eth port on the right (as seen from the back) then you need to be on the same network to communicate with it.

Ethernet

Here is how to setup the network interface on the ALIX board:

  • login as root
  • remountrw
  • cd /etc/network/
  • vi interfaces
  • just copy what is already there for eth0 and change the IPs.
  • /etc/init.d/networking restart (this will restart the networking
    services)
  • ifconfig (to check if everything is OK).

That should be it.

Keep in mind that eth0 is the plug on the right (there is sticker too), while eth1 is the one on the left.
