3.2.1Configuring the Hostname File

1.To use the GigabitEthernet interface as an IPv4 interface:

Allocate an IP address or hostname for the fjgi driver by editing the /etc/hostname.fjgi* file (where * is a numerical value). About netmask value, please see "3.2.3 Netmask Value Definition".

Example /etc/hostname.fjgi* file: Define a unique hostname:

giga-v4

Or define the IP address:

192.168.150.1

Note 1: Please put a decimal number (instance number) into *.

See section "3.4 Discernment Of the GigabitEthernet Interface" for detailed information about instance number.

Note 2: See section "3.2.2 Hostname Definition" for detailed information about defining the hostname.

Note 3: Please put in neither a blank nor a empty line behind an IP address. If a blank or a empty line enter, it will not be activated at the time of main part equipment starting.

2.To use the GigabitEthernet interface as an IPv6 interface:

Allocate an IP address and prefix for the fjgi driver by editing the /etc/hostname6.fjgi* file (where * is a numerical value).

Example /etc/hostname6.fjgi* file: Define a unique hostname:

addif giga-v6/120 up

Note: See section "3.2.2 Hostname Definition" for detailed information about defining the hostname.
