Setting Up Networking With SunPCi III Hardware and Software
Setting up networking with SunPCi hardware and software involves setting TCP/IP properties, setting up either physical or virtual Ethernet networking, and setting up network connections between SunPCi III cards and your Sun system.
▼How to Set TCP/IP Properties
Before you can configure TCP/IP, you need to obtain certain information from the network administrator at your site.
1.Obtain the following information before you begin:
■Your SunPCi III computer name (the name you enter when you install Microsoft Windows or Linux)
■If you are not using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to obtain an IP address, you also need:
■ The IP address for your SunPCi III card
Note – The IP address for your SunPCi III card must be different from your Sun system’s IP address.
■The subnet mask for your site’s network
■The IP address for your router or gateway (if used)
Note – If you are using virtual networking, you cannot use DHCP for both your Sun system and the SunPCi III card.
■The host name, domain name, and IP address for each Domain Name Service (DNS) server at your site (if used)
2.To configure TCP/IP, open the Network icon in the Control Panel in Microsoft Windows or choose Network from the System Settings in Linux.
Enter the information you obtained into the corresponding fields. For more information, refer to your operating system documentation.
