Configuring static IP for an Edge Node uplink interface

By default, the Edge Node (formerly Edge iNode) uplink Ethernet interface uses DHCP. This article explains how to configure static IP using either the Node CLI or the web UI.

For instructions on using SSH to connect to an Edge Node, see Access an Edge Node console.

Configure a static IP with the CLI

To configure a static IP address for an Edge Node Ethernet uplink interface:

Use SSH to connect to the node.
Use the set wan command with the following steps to configure a static IP address for the node's network 1 Ethernet interface.
Use the set wan command to enter the wan command prompt:
ShellShell
```
> set wan
(set wan) >
```
Use the ip command with the following arguments to configure a static IP address for the node's network 1 Ethernet interface.
ShellShell
```
ip --addr <IP-ADDR> --netmask <NETMASK> --gateway <GATEWAY>
```
For example:
(set wan) > ip --addr 192.170.0.118 --netmask 255.255.255.0 --gateway 192.170.0.1
Use the save command to save the above config:
ShellShell
```
(set wan) > save
```
Use the exitcommand to exit the wan command:
ShellShell
```
(set wan) > exit
>
```

Configure a name server

To configure a name server, use the set name-server command with the following steps. Note that in the example, 8.8.8.8 is a publicly accessible name server. You can use any accessible name server.
Use the set name-server command to enter the name-server command prompt:
ShellShell
```
> set name-server
(set name-server) >
```
Use the server command with the following arguments to configure the name server:
ShellShell
```
server --addr <addr>
```
- For example:
  ShellShell
```
(set name-server) > server --addr 8.8.8.8
```

You can also configure two name servers.

Shell

(set name-server) > server --addr 8.8.8.8 --addr 208.67.222.222

Use the save command to save the configuration:
ShellShell
```
(set name-server) > save
```

To see the configured name servers, use the showcommand:

Shell

(set name-server) > show
                |  ADDRESS
----------------+-----------------
  Configured    | 8.8.8.8
| 208.67.222.222

Use the exit command to exit the set name-server command:
ShellShell
```
(set name-server) > exit
>
```

Try the pingcommand to verify the static IP configuration.

Shell

>ping iotium.io
PING iotium.io (107.180.24.254) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from iotium.io (107.180.24.254): icmp_seq=1 ttl=57 time=6.55 ms

Set dynamic host addressing (DHCP)

To reconfigure the uplink to use dynamic host configuration (DHCP), use the unset wan command:

Use the unset wancommand to enter the "wan" command prompt:
ShellShell
```
> unset wan
(unset wan) >
```
Use the ipcommand as follows:
ShellShell
```
(unset wan) > ip
```
Use the savecommand to save the configuration:
ShellShell
```
(unset wan) > save
```
Use the exit command to exit the wan command:
ShellShell
```
(unset wan) > exit
>
```

Configure a static IP with the web UI

To configure the static IP for the Edge Node uplink interface using the web UI, follow these steps:

Expand the Configuring For Static IP section.
Under the WAN IP heading, select Static IP.
Enter the appropriate details for IP address, netmask, and gateway.
Make any necessary changes the DNS server in the DNS Settings section. You can define up to three DNS servers.
Select Submit.
