Dell 3000i manual Configuring TCP/IP on Linux using Dhcp root users only

Page 65

NOTE: The server IP addresses must be configured for network communication to the same IP subnet as the storage array management and iSCSI ports.

Configuring TCP/IP on Linux using DHCP (root users only)

1Edit the /etc/sysconfig/network file as follows:

NETWORKING=yes

HOSTNAME=mymachine.mycompany.com

2Edit the configuration file for the connection you want to configure, either /etc/sysconfig/network- scripts/ifcfg-ethX (for RHEL) or /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth-id-XX:XX:XX:XX:XX (for SUSE).

BOOTPROTO=dhcp

Also, verify that an IP address and netmask are not defined.

3Restart network services using the following command:

/etc/init.d/network restart

Configuring TCP/IP on Linux using a Static IP address (root users only)

1Edit the /etc/sysconfig/network file as follows:

NETWORKING=yes

HOSTNAME=mymachine.mycompany.com

GATEWAY=255.255.255.0

2Edit the configuration file for the connection you want to configure, either /etc/sysconfig/network- scripts/ifcfg-ethX (for RHEL) or /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth-id-XX:XX:XX:XX:XX (for SUSE).

BOOTPROTO=static

BROADCAST=192.168.1.255

IPADDR=192.168.1.100

NETMASK=255.255.255.0

NETWORK=192.168.1.0

ONBOOT=yes

TYPE=Ethernet

HWADDR=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

GATEWAY=192.168.1.1

3Restart network services using the following command:

/etc/init.d/network restart
