Add an Ethernet port to the default hotspot

Required configuration items

To add an Ethernet port to the default hotspot:


  1. Log into Digi Remote Manager, or log into the local Web UI as a user with full Admin access rights.
  2. Access the device configuration:

    1. Locate your device as described in Use Digi Remote Manager to view and manage your device.
    2. Click the Device ID.
    3. Click Settings.
    4. Click to expand Config.

    1. On the menu, click System. Under Configuration, click Device Configuration.

      The Configuration window is displayed.

  3. Click Network > Bridges > hotspot_bridge > Devices.
  4. Click the to add a new device.

  5. By default, For Device, select the appropriate Ethernet port.

    By default, the ETH1 device is configured as the device for the WAN1 interface, and ETH2, ETH3, and ETH4 are configured as devices in the LAN1 bridge, which is used by the LAN1 interface. As a result, when you add an Ethernet port to the hotspot, you may need to reconfigure the Ethernet port configuration for other interfaces. For example, to remove the ETH4 port from the LAN1 bridge:

    1. Click Network > Bridges > LAN1 > Devices.
    2. Click the ... menu icon next to the Ethernet: ETH4 device entry and select Delete.

  6. Click Apply to save the configuration and apply the change.
  1. Select the device in Remote Manager and click Actions > Open Console, or log into the TX64 local command line as a user with full Admin access rights.

    Depending on your device configuration, you may be presented with an Access selection menu. Type admin to access the Admin CLI.

  2. At the command line, type config to enter configuration mode:

    > config
(config)>

  3. Display a list of available devices by using the tab autocomplete feature:
    (config)> add network bridge hotspot_bridge device end /network/<tab>
/network/device/eth1              /network/device/eth2
/network/device/eth3              /network/device/eth4
/network/device/loopback          /network/bridge/hotspot_bridge
/network/bridge/lan1              /network/wifi/ap/digi_ap1
/network/wifi/ap/digi_ap2         /network/wifi/ap/digi_hotspot_ap1
/network/wifi/ap/digi_hotspot_ap2
(config)> add network bridge hotspot_bridge device end /network/
  4. Add a new device. For example, to add the ETH4 device:
    (config)> add network bridge hotspot_bridge device end /network/device/eth4
(config)>

    By default, the ETH1 device is configured as the device for the WAN1 interface, and ETH2, ETH3, and ETH4 are configured as devices in the LAN1 bridge, which is used by the LAN1 interface. As a result, when you add an Ethernet port to the hotspot, you may need to reconfigure the Ethernet port configuration for other interfaces. For example, to remove the ETH4 port from the LAN1 bridge:

    1. Display the current LAN1 bridge configuration:
      (config)> show network bridge lan1 device
0 /network/device/eth2
1 /network/device/eth3
2 /network/device/eth4
3 /network/wifi/ap/digi_ap1
4 /network/wifi/ap/digi_ap2
(config)>
    2. Use the index number, 2, to remove the ETH4 device from the LAN1 bridge:
      (config)> del network bridge lan1 device 2
(config)>
  5. Save the configuration and apply the change.
    (config)> save
Configuration saved.
>
  6. Type exit to exit the Admin CLI.

    Depending on your device configuration, you may be presented with an Access selection menu. Type quit to disconnect from the device.
