ESTA E1.37-2 PDF

Overview & Scope

This document provides additional Get/Set parameter messages (PIDs) for use with the ANSI E1.20 Remote Device Management protocol. Messages in this document are intended for configuring network interfaces, routing information and Domain Name System [DNS] settings on devices with IPv4 [IPv4] addresses.

The messages in this standard enable a controller to retrieve a list of network interfaces on a device, and for each interface, do the following:

• If appropriate, determine the EUI-48 hardware address [EUI]. Such addresses are commonly referred to as MAC addresses. Hardware addresses in a format other than EUI-48 are not covered by this standard.

• Retrieve and configure the IPv4 address & subnet mask. Addressing schemes other than IPv4 are outside the scope of this standard.

• Enable / disable DHCP [DHCPv4].

• Renew and release the DHCP lease.

• Enable and disable Zeroconf [IPv4LL].

Commands are also provided to: 

• Set the hostname of the device.

• Set the DNS domain of the device

• Set the DNS name servers of the device.

• Set the default IPv4 route of the device.
