—The domain name
Note: A Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) consists of a host name and a domain name, and includes a
—TLAN IP address
—TLAN gateway IP address
—TLAN netmask
—Timezone
—IP address of Network Time Protocol (NTP) Server
—IP address of the Primary Domain Name Service (DNS) server
—Default system gateway associated with the network interface (ELAN or TLAN)
Note 1: The choice of ELAN or TLAN as the default gateway NIC can be influenced by the applications that you are going to deploy on the server and by network topology. For a definition of ELAN and TLAN see “Network configuration” (page 143).
Note 2: The CLI command routeconfig can be used to add routing entries. The choice of routing entries will depend upon the network topology and application deployment. For a list of Nortel Linux base CLI commands see Table 11 "Nortel Linux base CLI commands" (page 141).
The base parameters can be changed after the installation is complete using the CLI command baseparamsconfig. A change in the base parameters can affect other application components. For example, if the current server is the Primary ECM security server and the FQDN is changed it is necessary to reinstall the applications.
The CLI command baseparamsconfig is an umbrella command that you can use to configure parameters for network settings, Network Time Protocol settings, date and time settings, and DNS settings. You can configure these parameters individually by using the CLI commands
