7. The last two text lines must be removed from the /etc/hosts file. This step has already been

b. Make a copy of the hosts file for backup by typing “cp hosts hosts.backup”.
c. Type in “export TERM=vt100”.

with this file type “vi hosts”.
e. In the editor, go to the bottom of the file by holding down the shift key and
typing g (shift+g).
f. The last two text lines of this file must be deleted. The keyword to look for is
“EactiveNMIC” in the last line. The two lines will look similar to the
following:

155.226.39.27 EactiveNmic
g. To delete these last two lines, and type “2dd”.

enter various IP addresses and IP masks to be changed as defined in Table 702-3.

the IP addresses being entered resulting in a bad configuration. Use the Ctrl+C exit out
