Log into the unit via local terminal or SSH on port 2222 with the 'mango' user and supplied password.
NOTE: All MangoGT come with a hostname and static IPv6 address based on the unit serial number for ease of configuration. In the following examples, XXXX represents the numerical serial number of the unit.
- hostname: mangogtXXXX
- IPv6: [fe80::XXXX]
For example, mangoGT1234
would have hostname mangogt1234
and IPv6 address [fe80::1234]
To change the network settings, run the following command to access the network settings file:
sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
Modify the eth0 adapter as needed. The MangoGT is a DHCP client by default and the below entry is an example of changing it to a static IP. Note that the default gateway and DNS servers are not required if they are not applicable:
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
dns-nameservers 192.168.0.1 8.8.8.8
When finished, type Ctrl-X
to exit the file, followed by y
to save changes, and Enter
to overwrite the file.
If DNS servers are required when using a static IP, they will also need to be defined in the /etc/resolv.conf
file. Run the following command:
sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf
Modify the entry as needed. Below is an example matching the previous network settings example:
nameserver 192.168.0.1
nameserver 8.8.8.8 (edited)
