Table 10: Creating the /etc/hostname.alt<num> files

2. Place the appropriate adapter host name into the

/etc/hostname.alt file(s).

The /etc/hostname.alt <num> file must contain the appropriate

adapter host name.

The host name should be different from the host name of any other

interface. For example, /etc/hostname.alt0 and

/etc/hostname.alt100 cannot share the same host name.

The following example depicts the host name files required for a

machine called iti , with one ITI5100G/GF adapter with four VLANs:

iti # cat /etc/hostname.alt0

iti-1

iti # cat /etc/hostname.alt100

iti-1100

iti # cat /etc/hostname.alt200

iti-1200

iti # cat /etc/hostname.alt300

iti-1300

3. For each host name, enter the appropriate IP address in the

/etc/hosts file.

4. Create the /etc/vlan.alt <num> file(s).

One corresponding /etc/vlan.alt

<num> file is needed for each

/etc/hostname.alt <num> file created in the previous steps (one

for each VLAN being configured for each adapter on the server). Create

files using the following naming format:

/etc/vlan.alt

<num>

For each file, the number <num> in the filename is determined according

to the table below. For example, the first adapter requires a file named

/etc/vlan.alt0 for its first VLAN, and a file named

/etc/vlan.alt100 for its second VLAN.
