4Look for the entry that starts with ‘dmfe1.’ The parameters that follow show the IP address, subnet mask, and whether the interface is ‘UP.’ This example output shows that dmfe1 is assigned to IP address 120.120.13.24, its subnet mask is ffffff00 which translates to 255.255.255.0, and the interface is UP (active).

5Look for the entry that starts with ‘dmfe0:1.’ This is the machine logical interface. Notice that the machine logical has ‘attached’ itself to dmfe0 and added a suffix of ‘:1’ creating dmfe0:1. When a machine logical (or service logical) interface is created, the V100 will always attempt to ‘attach’ to the first interface, dmfe0. If dmfe0 were unavailable, or out of service, the machine logical would then ‘attach’ itself to dmfe1 creating dmfe1:1. The parameters that follow show the IP address, subnet mask, and whether the interface is ‘UP.’

This example output shows that dmfe0:1 is assigned to IP address 120.120.13.25, its subnet mask is ffffff00, which translates to 255.255.255.0, and the interface is UP (active).

6Verify that the hosts file is correct:

[@microapp]/export/home/nortel:=> cat /etc/hosts

#

# Internet host table

#

127.0.0.1localhost

120.120.13.25 microapp loghost 120.120.13.23 microappdmfe0 120.120.13.24 microappdmfe1

The first 120 address should reflect your machine logical IP address in addition to the hostname and the ‘loghost’ tag.

The second 120 address should reflect the dmfe0 interface followed by the hostname concatenated with ‘dmfe0.’

The third 120 address should reflect the dmfe1 interface followed by the hostname concatenated with ‘dmfe1.’

7Verify the defaultroute file:

[@microapp]/export/home/nortel:=> cat /etc/defaultrouter 120.120.13.1
