Embedded switch CLI for wireless LOM Package configuration

See this topic to learn how to set configuration of wireless LOM package.

Use UCI (Unified Configuration Interface) to configure wireless LOM package core services.

Embedded Switch CLI can be accessed by SSH from Management port but dedicated address (192.168.70.254)

  • User name: oper

  • Password: (use the same password as XCC)

Configuration files​

Table 1. Common files
Configure profileDescription
/etc/config/dhcpDnsmasq and odhcpd settings: DNS, DHCP, DHCPv6
/etc/config/firewallNAT, packet filter, port forwarding, etc.
/etc/config/network

Switch, interface and route configuration:

Basics, IPv4, IPv6, Routes, Rules, WAN, Aliases, Switches, VLAN, IPv4/IPv6 transitioning, Tunneling

/etc/config/wirelessWireless settings and WLAN network definition

Elements​

The elements in UCI model are:

  • config:

    main configuration groups like network, wireless, firewall. Each configuration group has it's own file in /etc/config

  • sections:

    config is divided into sections. A section can either be named or unnamed.

  • types:

    a section can have a type. E.g in the network config we typically have 4 sections of the type “interface”. The sections are “lan”, “wan”, “loopback” and “wan6”

  • options:

    each section have some options where you set your configuration values

  • values:

    value of option

Example

> sudo uci show network

network.mgmt_lan=interface
network.mgmt_lan.type='bridge'
network.mgmt_lan.ifname='eth0 eth1'
network.mgmt_lan.proto='static'
network.mgmt_lan.ipaddr='192.168.70.254'
network.mgmt_lan.netmask='255.255.255.0'
network.mgmt_lan.metric='50'
network.mgmt_lan_6=interface
network.mgmt_lan_6.ifname='br-mgmt_lan'
network.mgmt_lan_6.proto='static'
network.mgmt_lan_6.ip6assign='64'
network.mgmt_lan_6.metric='50'
network.mgmt_lan_6.ip6hint='70'
network.mgmt_lan_6.ip6class='local'
network.x86_lan=interface
network.x86_lan.type='bridge'
network.x86_lan.ifname='usb0'
network.x86_lan.proto='static'
network.x86_lan.ipaddr='192.168.73.254'
network.x86_lan.netmask='255.255.255.0'
network.x86_lan_6=interface
network.x86_lan_6.ifname='br-x86_lan'
network.x86_lan_6.proto='static'
network.x86_lan_6.ip6assign='64'
network.x86_lan_6.ip6hint='73'
network.x86_lan_6.ip6class='local'

>sudo uci set network.mgmt_lan.ipaddr=192.168.70.245

>sudo uci changes

network.mgmt_lan.ipaddr='192.168.70.245'

>sudo uci commit network

>/etc/init.d/network restart

After about 30 seconds, you should be able to connect embedded network module with SSH connect to 192.168.70.245.
