In the initial step, you need to choose the network interface you wish to configure. This interface refers to a network card and is identifiable by its name as recognized by the Linux system.
For configuring the network address, there are two options:
- Dynamic Configuration: Here, the network settings are obtained automatically from the network environment.
- Static Configuration: In this scenario, you are required to manually input all the necessary network parameters.
- Dynamic Configuration: DHCP
To configure your IoT Server to automatically receive its network configuration from a DHCP server, simply select the DHCP option using the configuration switch. After making this selection, click on the Save this configuration button. This completes the process, and no further settings are needed.
- Static Configuration: Static IP
For manual network configuration, choose the Static IP option and input the following network configuration details:- IP Address: Specify the actual IP address to be assigned to the IoT Server. This should be an IP address, not a DNS entry.
- Subnet Mask: Enter the network mask corresponding to the IP address. Use the format like 255.255.255.0, not /24 notation.
- Default Gateway: Provide the IP address of the gateway that will be used by default on this interface.
After entering these details, finalize the setup by clicking the Save this configuration button.
If you need to configure specific routes to external networks, this can be done on the Routes configuration page within the IoT Server Configuration application.
