The Dell Edge 5000 runs a version of Ubuntu Linux called Ubuntu Core. The latest version is the 16.04. This article shows how to configure the network on that device
Ubuntu core does not have a graphical UI, nor it has the Text UI of the Network Manager, so the only way to configure the network is to use the Network Manager CLI too. In the case of core that tool is used with the command "network-manager.cli"
To set up an static IP follow this steps
Create the connection with the appropriate interface, IP and gateway
admin@localhost:~$ network-manager.nmcli con add con-name static-ip ifname eth0 type ethernet ip4 192.168.118.69/20 gw4 192.168.112.1 Connection 'static-ip' (f8a2329a-0580-4f43-ad14-e029531cafa7) successfully added. |
Add the DNS servers
admin@localhost:~$ network-manager.nmcli con mod static-ip ipv4.dns "8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4" |
Start the connection
admin@localhost:~$ network-manager.nmcli con up static-ip Connection successfully activated (D-Bus active path: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/4) |
To create a mobile connection, execute this commands with the proper information
Create a new connection
admin@localhost:~$ network-manager.nmcli con add type gsm ifname ttyACM3 con-name TELEKOM_GSMDEMO apn internet.t-mobile user t-mobile password tm Connection 'TELEKOM_GSMDEMO' (d472ed41-113a-4a37-972c-6517e335f3cf) successfully added. |
Activate the connection
admin@localhost:~$ network-manager.nmcli con up TELEKOM_GSMDEMO Connection successfully activated (D-Bus active path: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/6) |
To list the created connections use "network-manager.nmcli con"
admin@localhost:~$ network-manager.nmcli con NAME UUID TYPE DEVICE TELEKOM_GSMDEMO d472ed41-113a-4a37-972c-6517e335f3cf gsm ttyACM3 docker0 a8c307bb-e111-4302-b5f5-9a6785a84c1a bridge docker0 static-ip f8a2329a-0580-4f43-ad14-e029531cafa7 802-3-ethernet eth0 Wired connection 1 4f62b384-cf8d-3db1-ad64-a36ad0d1e2bb 802-3-ethernet -- Wired connection 2 1ab8fe46-581e-355c-8be8-1481216be42f 802-3-ethernet -- ethernet-eth0 74e23d08-77d7-4cdd-a24f-935aa2cec328 802-3-ethernet -- ethernet-eth0-1 a95320ee-ffe1-4161-87a5-0788ef3a52a1 802-3-ethernet -- |
To check the configuration of each connection use the command "network-manager.nmcli con show connection-name"
