Configuring Static IP on IPC227E Second Ethernet Port

Hello Ant,

You're right to notice the second Ethernet port defaults to DHCP. Configuring a static IP requires accessing the device's command-line interface (CLI) as the web interface doesn't directly expose this option.

Here's how to configure the static IP:

1. Access the CLI: Connect to the IPC227E via SSH using the default credentials (user: root, password: ipc227e - strongly recommend changing this immediately!).
2. Identify the Interface: Use the command ip addr show to identify the name of the second Ethernet interface (usually eth1 or similar).
3. Configure Static IP: Use the ip command to set the static IP. For example:

   ip addr add 192.168.1.10/24 dev eth1

   ip link set eth1 up

   ip route add default via 192.168.1.1

   (Replace with your desired IP address, subnet mask, and gateway.)
4. Make Persistent: These changes will be lost on reboot. To make them persistent, you'll need to modify the network configuration file. The location and format vary depending on the installed OS. Consult the IPC227E Documentation for details on persistent network configuration.

Important: Be careful when modifying network settings via the CLI. Incorrect configuration can lead to loss of connectivity.
