    Assign a Static IP Address Using the Console

    Access the Prisma SD-WAN ION CLI commands through Console.
    Access the Prisma SD-WAN ION device command-line interface (CLI) using the console and assign a static IP address to an unclaimed ION device controller or internet port.
    Command-line interface (CLI) using the console and assigning a static IP address is only required to establish initial communication with the controller. Once a device is claimed, the controller will overwrite any further configuration changes done locally on the ION via the console or device toolkit. This is supported on all the Prisma SD-WAN ION Devices.
    1. Connect an RJ-45 to USB cable to the AUX port on the Prisma SD-WAN ION device.
    2. Connect the other end of the RJ-45 to USB cable to your computer and launch a terminal emulator.
    3. Set the terminal or baud rate to 115200/8/n/1 on the terminal window.
      The Login menu displays the login prompt with the ION device serial number.
      <ION-device-serial-number> login:
    4. Use the default user details username elem-admin/hackle628)bags for unclaimed devices.

    5. Configure the controller port or one of the internet ports with the appropriate IP address, gateway address, and DNS server.
      1. Assign a static IP address to the ION devices with controller ports using the config interface command.
        # config interface controller1 ip static address=10.0.0.126/24 gw=10.0.0.1 dns=8.8.8.8
      2. Verify your configuration using the dump interface config command.
        # dump interface config controller1
						       Interface : controller 1 
						       Description:
						       ID : 15403462741430053 
						       Type : port 
						       Admin State : up 
						       Alarms : enabled 
						       MTU:1500 
						       IP : static 
						       Address : 10.0.0.126/24 
						       Route : 0.0.0.0/0 via 10.0.0.1 metric 1
						       DNS Server : 8.8.8.8
						
						      # dump interface status controller1
						       Interface: controller 1 
						       Device : eth0 
						       ID : 15403462741430053 
						       MAC Address : ec:b9:07:00:12:3c 
						       State: up 
						       Last Change : 2018-11-20 21:55:40.785009014 +0000 UTC 
						       Duplex: full
						       Speed : 1000Mbps 
						       Address : 10.0.0.126/24
						       Route : 0.0.0.0/0 via 10.0.0.1 metric 0 
						       DNS Server : 8.8.8.8
      3. Use the config interface command to assign a static IP address to the internet port, this step is required for ION devices without controller ports.
        # config interface 1 ip static address=24.4.5.2/30 gw=24.4.5.1 dns=8.8.8.8
      4. Verify your configuration using the dump interface config command.
    6. Verify the connection to the controller using the dump controller status command.
      # dump controller status
						Controller Connection : Partially Connected
						Number of Active Connections : 2
						-----------------------------------------------------------------
						tcp 0 0 10.0.0.126:57966 52.8.4.127:443 ESTABLISHED
						tcp 0 0 10.0.0.126:57338 52.8.4.127:443 ESTABLISHED
						-----------------------------------------------------------------
    7. Go to the Prisma SD-WAN web interface to claim your recently configured ION device and assign it to a site.
      After you change the device to the claimed state, change the default password to match your configured password.
