Figure 15 Define networks tool
The parameters in the Define Networks tool include the following:
•
Available Networks
This is a list of the network definitions. When you create a new network definition, its name
is displayed in this list after pressing Save. When a network name in the Available Networks
list is selected and you select the Load button, its network parameters are displayed in the
appropriate fields; you can select only one network at a time.
•
Network Name
The Network Name field is located beneath the Available Networks list. Enter an arbitrary
name for your network definition in this text field. The network name does not need to match
the DNS name for this subnet.
•
Base Address
Enter the base address of the subnet
1
with zeroes for the host number, for example,
192.168.10.0.
This parameter is required, and is used to validate IP addresses.
•
Network Mask
Enter the netmask for the subnet, for example, 255.255.255.0. This parameter is required.
•
Gateway
Enter the IP address of the server that is the default gateway for this network.
•
DNS Domain(s)
Optionally enter the DNS domain suffix and search list for this subnet. The first entry in this
field represents the DNS suffix used to create a fully qualified domain name. Additional entries
are added to the DNS search list.
•
IP Address Range
If you want to have IP addresses assigned automatically, you can enter a range of IP addresses
in this optional field. Specify the range with a hyphen, for example:
192.168.10.5-192.168.10.50
1. See your network network administrator for this information.
