4. Become root:
su -
5. Enter the current password for root, which is v-serial#_in_reverse (such as v-75001A if
the serial number is A10057).
6. When prompted, set a new password. An acceptable password must comprise eight
characters, including one numeric character, one uppercase character, one lowercase
character, and one other (non-alphanumeric) character.
C. To configure eth0 to use a static IP address, enter the following. (Skip this step if you plan to
use DHCP.)
netconfig -f eth0 -m static -i ip_address -n netmask -g gateway
where ip_address is the management network interface address, netmask is the management
network interface netmask, and gateway is the IP address for the gateway. Note that the -g
option sets the default gateway for all interfaces (not just eth0).
D. You must configure DNS settings. Set the list of DNS servers and domain:
1. To set the list of DNS servers, enter the following:
netconfig -d ip_address,ip_address,...
where ip_address is the IP address of a DNS server. You can specify up to three
addresses.
2. To set the domain to search for DNS servers, enter the following:
netconfig -o domain_name
E. To set the hostname of the server, enter the following:
netconfig -s hostname
where hostname is the fully qualified domain name.
F. To verify the configuration, enter the following:
netconfig
If not using DNS, you can remove DNS entries by entering this command:
netconfig -d -o
To configure network settings for eth1
Note
If you want the default route to use the subnet connected to eth0, and eth0 is set to
DHCP, do not assign a gateway on eth1. If eth0 is set to a static IP address, assign a
gateway on eth0 only.
To set the IP, netmask, and gateway addresses, enter the following:
netconfig -f eth1 -m static -i ip_address -n netmask
where ip_address is the management network interface address, netmask is the management
network interface netmask, and gateway is the IP address for the gateway.
Or, to configure eth1 to use DHCP, enter the following:
netconfig -f eth1 -m dhcp
