Hardware manual
Appendix A Mac OS X Server Worksheet 59
Configuration settings for the following port appear in the table below:
Port Name: Built-in Ethernet
Item Description Your information
Device name A UNIX name for the port in the format enx, where x
starts with 0. See your hardware manual for the value of
x for the port you’re describing. The value en0 always
designates a built-in Ethernet port.
en0
Ethernet address The Media Access Control (MAC) address of the port
(00:00:00:00:00:00). This value is usually on a sticker on
the server hardware, but you can run Apple System
Profiler or a command-line tool such as networksetup to
discover the value.
TCP/IP and
AppleTalk
Indicate whether you want to enable the port for TCP/IP
and/or AppleTalk.
You can connect a port to the Internet by enabling
TCP/IP and use the same or a different port for AppleTalk.
Enable no more than one port for AppleTalk.
Order of ports If you enable more than one port, indicate the order in
which the ports should be accessed when trying to
connect to a network. All non-local network traffic uses
the first active port.
TCP/IP settings Use one of the next four rows in this table.
“Manually” Specify these settings if you want to manually specify
TCP/IP settings:
- IP address (000.000.000.000). A unique static address.
- Subnet mask (000.000.000.000). Used to locate the
subnet on the local area network where the server
resides. This mask is used to derive the network part of
the server’s address; what remains identifies the server
computer on that network.
- Router (000.000.000.000) that supports the subnet the
server’s on. The router is the machine on the local subnet
to which messages are sent if the target IP address isn’t
on the local subnet.
- DNS servers (000.000.000.000) used to convert IP
addresses to fully qualified DNS names and vice versa for
the port.
- Search domains (optional). Names to automatically
append to Internet addresses when you don’t fully
qualify them. For example, if you specify
campus.univ.edu as a search domain, you can type
server1 in the Finder’s Connect To Server dialog box to
connect to server1.campus.univ.edu.
