The device has on ethernet interface onboard, which is called eth0 in the Linux system. It supports 10/100 Mbit connections and MDI/MDI-X.

The following list mentions only some features a Linux system is capable of:

  • IPv4
  • IPv6
  • Unix domain sockets
  • TCP / UDP
  • DHCP
  • Ethernet Bridging

The Duckbill device comes with the following default network configuration:

Setting Value Value
Linux interface eth0 eth0:1
IPv4 address via DHCP 169.254.12.53
IPv4 netmask via DHCP 255.255.0.0
Default gateway via DHCP

These settings allow to integrate the Duckbill into every network with automatic configuration, but also provide an emergency fallback IP address in case you attach the Duckbill directly to a PC.

For a detailed description of all possible settings, please refer to the Debian network documentation.
