Network Configuration of NMS Host

This information is stored in a file, /etc/hosts, which must contain the name of each processor and its associated IP address. While logged in as root, you must do the following:

1.If using the basic network configuration and the defaults provided: TYPE: cp /etc/nms.basic /etc/hosts

PRESS: Enter Go to step 5.

2.If customizing the network configuration to connect to an existing Ethernet network: TYPE: vi /etc/hosts

PRESS: Enter

If the NMS host will be connected to a UIP, add the IP address and processor name to the /etc/hosts file in the format:

nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn uip-name

Where: nnn is a number from 1 to 255 and uip-nameis the name of the UIP.
