Assign an Internet
Address and a Host
Name
Caution
Send the Internet
Address to the CD-
ROM Server
18
To establish communication with the TCP/IP network, an Internet
address and a host name must be assigned to the CD-ROM server and
included in your system host table. The Internet address must also be
downloaded to the CD-ROM server.
1. Find an available Internet address and make up a unique host
name for your Axis CD-ROM server. The host name you
choose will be used when mounting the CD-ROM server for NFS
use.
2. Add the Internet address and host name to your system host
table (/etc/hosts on most UNIX systems) by appending the
following line:
<Internet address>
Example:
192.36.253.96
DO NOT use the default or the above Internet address when
installing your Axis CD-ROM server. Always consult your network
administrator before assigning an Internet address.
3. Update your Alias Name data bases If your system utilizes alias
name data bases such as Yellow Pages (YP) or Network
Information Services (NIS), you should update these. On most
systems this is done by entering the following commands:
cd /var/yp
make
You can send the Internet address to the Axis CD-ROM server in
three ways, the arp, the rarp or the bootp method. The main
characteristics for each method are:
• arp – the easiest method. Requires that the Internet address is
downloaded to each new device individually.
