Configuring Host Files
After installing the IntraServer ITI-8241C-S CompactPCI
®
Adapter, you
must create a
hostname.qfe<num>
file for each Ethernet interface. You must
also assign an IP address and a hostname for each Ethernet interface in the
/etc/hosts
file.
Installing the software for the ITI-8241C-S
qfe adapter entry
Create an /etc/hostname.qfe0 file. The number 0 following qfe represents the
first instance of the qfe device. Use channel qfe1 for a second Ethernet
channel and so on.
•
Do not create
/etc/hostname.qfe<num>
files for the IntraServer qfe
channels (if any) you do not plan to use. The
/etc/hostname.qfe<num>
file must contain the hostname for the appropriate network interface.
•
The hostname should have an IP address and should be entered in the
/etc/hosts
file.
•
The hostname should be different from any hostname of any other
interface, for example:
/etc/hostname.qfe0
and
/etc/hostname.qfe1
cannot share the same hostname.
•
The following is an example of the
/etc/hostname.qfe<num>
files
required for a machine called intra that will be known as intra-1 and
intra-2 on the networks connected to the qfe0 and qfe1 Ethernet
interfaces.
intra #
cat
/etc/hostname.qfe0
intra-1
intra #
cat
/etc/hostname.qfe1
intra-2
intra #
cat
/etc/hostname.qfe2
intra-3
