Configuring Host Files

After installing the IntraServer ITI-8241C-S CompactPCI® Adapter, you must create a hostname.qfe<num> file for each Ethernet interface. You must also assign an IP address and a hostname for each Ethernet interface in the /etc/hosts file.

Installing the software for the ITI-8241C-S qfe adapter entry

Create an /etc/hostname.qfe0 file. The number 0 following qfe represents the first instance of the qfe device. Use channel qfe1 for a second Ethernet channel and so on.

∙Do not create /etc/hostname.qfe<num> files for the IntraServer qfe channels (if any) you do not plan to use. The /etc/hostname.qfe<num> file must contain the hostname for the appropriate network interface.

∙The hostname should have an IP address and should be entered in the /etc/hosts file.

∙The hostname should be different from any hostname of any other interface, for example: /etc/hostname.qfe0 and /etc/hostname.qfe1 cannot share the same hostname.

∙The following is an example of the /etc/hostname.qfe<num> files required for a machine called intra that will be known as intra-1 and intra-2 on the networks connected to the qfe0 and qfe1 Ethernet interfaces.

intra # cat /etc/hostname.qfe0 intra-1

intra # cat /etc/hostname.qfe1 intra-2

intra # cat /etc/hostname.qfe2 intra-3
