Network Configuration of NMS Host
The NMS host requires information on other processors it must communicate with on the network.
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-name is the name of the UIP.
