Default configuration

By default the LORIX One is configured to receive an IP from the local DHCP server.

If it cannot reach a DHCP server, it will fallback to a static addressing:

Default fallback static configuration
IP address192.168.8.8
Subnet mask255.255.255.0 /24
Gateway address192.168.8.1
DNS server

8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4

Configure the ethernet interface

Network configuration change

If your are remotely configuring your gateway, please be very careful when you edit the network configuration as a wrong configuration may lead to bring the gateway offline. Only change these parameters if you can access the gateway USB port in case something went wrong.

Dynamic addressing

The Network settings page allows you to edit the IP configuration of the main interface. Expand the eth0 interface panel and click 'Edit'.

After you have saved the configuration, click on 'Reload config' to enable the new configuration.

You can use the default DHCP configuration available on the gateway:

sudo nmcli connection up dhcp-default
BASH

If you need to change some parameters, we suggest using a new profile:

sudo nmcli -a connection add type ethernet con-name dhcp-custom ifname eth0 method auto connection.autoconnect-priority 10
BASH

The new profile is stores in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections.

To enable this profile, use:

sudo nmcli connection up dhcp-custom
BASH

Static addressing

The Network settings page allows you to edit the IP configuration of the main interface. Expand the eth0 interface panel and click 'Edit'.

After you have saved the configuration, click on 'Reload config' to enable the new configuration.

You can create a new profile with your specific configuration:

sudo nmcli -a connection add type ethernet con-name static-custom ifname eth0 ip4 192.168.1.50/24 gw4 192.168.1.1 ipv4.dns "8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4"
BASH

The new profile is stores in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections.

To enable this profile, use:

sudo nmcli connection up static-custom
BASH

This command will probably never show success has you lost connection to the gateway. You can now reconnect to the gateway with the new address.

Advanced configuration

For advanced configuration, you can edit the profiles directly in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections or use the NetowrkManager command line interface: nmcli. You can find help on the official NetworkManager documentation.
