Configuring the network interface or resetting the IP address from the command line

At factory defaults, your Opengear device's primary Network Interface (otherwise known as wan/eth0/NET1) has both a DHCP client enabled and static IP settings of: 192.168.0.1 / 255.255.255.0

To configure this interface from the command line, login to the CLI as root (factory default password: default) or an admin-group user, e.g. via SSH or local console.

Example commands for NET1

To set a static IP of 192.168.1.100 / 255.255.255.0 with a gateway and primary DNS of 192.168.1.1, run:

config -s config.interfaces.wan.mode=static
config -s config.interfaces.wan.address=192.168.1.100
config -s config.interfaces.wan.netmask=255.255.255.0
config -s config.interfaces.wan.dns1=192.168.1.1
config -s config.interfaces.wan.gateway=192.168.1.1

Or to obtain network settings via DHCP, run:

config -s config.interfaces.wan.mode=dhcp

To enable IPv6 stateless autoconfiguration (SLAAC), run:

config -s config.system.ipv6.enabled=on
config -s config.interfaces.wan.ipv6.mode=stateless

Otherwise, to clear Network Interface settings and restore factory default state, run:

config -d config.interfaces.wan

Apply configuration

To apply your changes, run:

config -r ipconfig

Note: If you are connected via the network, applying changes may cause your session to be disconnected should the network address change.

Example commands for NET2

At factory defaults the Management LAN Interface (otherwise known as lan/eth1/NET2) is disabled.

To set a static IP of 192.168.2.100 / 255.255.255.0 with a gateway and primary DNS of 192.168.2.1, run:

config -s config.interfaces.lan.mode=static
config -s config.interfaces.lan.address=192.168.2.100
config -s config.interfaces.lan.netmask=255.255.255.0
config -s config.interfaces.lan.gateway=192.168.2.1
config -s config.interfaces.lan.media=Auto
config -s config.interfaces.lan.dns1=192.168.2.1
config -d config.interfaces.lan.disabled
config -r ipconfig
