IP Address Assignment 4-1
I P A D D R E S S A S S I G N M E N T
This chapter contains information about choosing an IP address and
assigning the address.
C h o o s i n g a n I P A d d r e s s
Every TCP/IP network device is required to have a unique IP address. The
IP address can be permanently stored using one of the following:
♦ MonarchNet management utilities for TCP/IP or Novell NetWare.
♦ MonarchNet Configuration utility via telnet.
The MonarchNet utilities are the easiest way to assign an
IP address.
Using factory default settings, the MonarchNet first attempts to determine its
IP address (flashing rapid green) using DHCP, RARP, BOOTP or Gleaning.
If the MonarchNet has not resolved its IP address after 2 minutes, it defaults
to 198.102.102.254. (This IP address should be used only temporarily for
configuration purposes.)
To choose an IP address:
1. Select an IP address and hostname for the MonarchNet.
Example: 192.168.42.50 MonarchNet_name
2. Add the name and IP address to the “/etc/hosts” file of each host that will
access the MonarchNet. Or, if your network uses a name service, add
the host name and IP address to the name server.
Most TCP/IP networks use the Network Information Service (NIS), Domain
Name Service (DNS) or the “/etc/hosts” database. See your network
documentation for instructions.
