Setup guide
3 Set the IPADDR keyword to the IP address you want to use. Make sure
this IP is not used by any other system on your network. For example:
IPADDR=192.168.0.100
NOTE It is not recommended to change this IP address once you have
installed your Autodesk software.
4 Set the NETMASK keyword to the netmask used by your network. For
example:
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
5 Make sure the ONBOOT keyword is set to yes.
ONBOOT=yes
6 Optional: If you have not specified a global default gateway for your
system, or if you want to use a different gateway for this particular
network port, add a GATEWAY keyword in this file, and set it to the IP
address of the gateway. For example:
GATEWAY=192.168.0.1
7 Save and close the configuration file.
To configure host name resolution:
1 Open the /etc/hosts file in a text editor.
2 Locate the loopback setting in the hosts file. By default, the loopback
setting is identified by the IP address 127.0.0.1, for example:
127.0.0.1 vxfhost.localhost.localdomain localhost
3 Remove the host name preceding localhost.localdomain from the
loopback setting.
For example, if you remove the host name vxfhost in the example
above, the loopback setting should appear as follows:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
4 On a new line, type the IP address of the system, press Tab, and then
enter the explicit host name of the system.
The new line defines the network IP address and host name of the system.
For example, if the IP address is 192.168.0.100 and the host name is
workstation1, your hosts file should be as follows:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.0.100 workstation1
5 Optional: Add hostname / IP address pairs for other workstations on
your network. For example:
