The IP configuration can be done statically or by a DHCP server in the network.

IP configuration via DHCP

For a configuration via a DHCP server, use the dhcp command in U-Boot.

Static IP configuration For a static IP configuration the following, U-Boot environment variables must be set:

setenv ipaddr <ipaddr> 
(e.g.: setenv ipaddr 192.168.100.111)
setenv netmask <netmask> 
(e.g.: setenv netmask 255.255.255.0)

The Ethernet interface is activated and configured by systemd-networkd. The configuration file for the eth0 interface is located in /lib/systemd/network/ and can be altered to customize the default interface configuration. A documentation of the configuration files can be found here.

For a temporary static configuration the ip command can be used, below some useful ip commands are listed:

Activate a specific interface
e.g. eth0

ip link set eth0 up

Disable a specific interface
e.g. eth0

ip link set eth0 down

Show ip address for a specific interface
e.g. eth0

ip addr show eth0

Show statistics for a specific interface
e.g. eth0

ip -s link show eth0 

Set ip address for a specific interface
e.g. eth0

ip addr add 192.168.1.100/24 dev eth0

Show statistics of all interfaces

ip -s link

Set default gateway for a specific interface
e.g. set gateway ip 192.168.1.1 for eth0

ip route add default via 192.168.1.1 dev eth0

If a DHCP server is available in the network environment the ip configuration can be received from it. To do so execute the udhcpc command, by default eth0 is used.
To configure another interface via dhcp the parameter -i followed by the interface name e.g. eth1 must be given.
e.g. eth1

udhcpc -i eth1
