Enable Port via CLI

nwsbeta over 2 years ago

Hello,

for eg. we have one xg126.In that we need to enable port3,5,6etc via CLI, because web UI is not accessible. so now how can I enable ports using commands only.

For anybody coming across this post in the future, this error occurs because 'Port' has to be specified with a capital P. This is Linux remember and everything is case sensitive!

Hi nwsbeta

From the advanced shell (option 5 then 3), you can use the ifconfig command. For example: 'ifconfig Port3 172.16.16.16 netmask 255.255.255.0 up'
