Configuring System Files - Digi PortServer CM User Manual

Configuring System Files

Modifying Linux Files
In this step, four Linux files must be modified to identify the PortServer CM and its neighbors. An
alternative to editing each file is to use the netconfig command. Then, the boot parameters are configured.
The operating system provides a scaled-down version of the vi editor. A description of its features is
available in the chapter on Linux.
The first file is: /etc/hostname. The only entry should be the hostname of the PortServer CM. An example is:
DigiPSCM
The second file is: /etc/hosts. It should contain the IP address for the Ethernet interface and the same
hostname entered in the /etc/hostname file. It may also contain IP addresses and host names for other hosts
in the network.
200.200.200.1 DigiPSCM
200.200.200.2 RADIUSServer
127.0.0.1 localhost
The third file that must be modified is /etc/resolv.conf. It must contain the domain name and nameserver
information for the network.
domain mycompany.com
nameserver 200.200.200.2
