How to change WAN static IP via telnet on RT-AC66U?

[marv]

Hi All,

Operation Mode:Wireless router Firmware Version:3.0.0.4.380_3264
old WAN IP > 111.222.333.444/29
new WAN IP > aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd/29

I tried following:

marv@RT-AC66U:/# ip addr del 111.222.333.444/29 dev eth0
marv@RT-AC66U:/# ip addr add aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd/29 brd aaa.bbb.ccc.eee dev eth0
marv@RT-AC66U:/#

Everything looks ok on the first sight but there is something more which needs to be done and I don't know what it is. I can see on Network Map page Internet status > Connected, but there is no IP, and on WAN page there is still old static WAN IP. I tried to reboot the router after above commands as well, IP reverted back to the old one.

Thanks a mil.

Why not setting it through the GUI?
Advanced Settings>WAN
Set it to WAN Connection Type = Static IP, and go ahead.

the IP Route package (which ip addr is part of) just changes the real-time config, and doesn't commit the change to NVRAM (or JFFS for some) - so it's nice for a quick check...

Hi, I know it's easy to do it via GUI, but the question is not how to do it but how to do it via telnet.

Hi, I'm a bit lost here, do you mean it will be necessary to have a look at some parameters in nvram and rewrite? I would prefer another solution (if available) and do not commit nvram.

Yes, just forget the commands - someone with direct access to a Asus based build should be able to assist there...
