Preparing to Install and Configure TCP/IP Services
1.3 Assembling Configuration Information
Table 1–3 Configuration Planning Worksheet
Question Answer
What is the system’s host name (for example, MYNODE)?
What is the system’s Internet domain name (for example, widgets.com)?
Do you plan to have your IP interface under control of the DHCP client?
If so, the next items on this worksheet (the system’s addresses and masks,
and the system’s network interface), might be configured automatically
by the DHCP server, in which case you do not need to specify them. Ask
your network manager for details.
What are the system’s addresses and masks?
1
* IP address (for example, 19.112.139.14)
* Subnet (network mask) address (for example, 255.0.0.0)
* Broadcast address (for example, 19.255.255.255)
What is the system’s network interface (for example, WE0)?
1
What is the group UIC for TCP/IP Services (see Section 1.2.8)? For
example, [GROUP1,JONES].
Which type of routing is appropriate for the network, Static or Dynamic?
Static — For simple networks where routes do not change
If static, enter the default gateway’s host name and address (for
example, GATWY1; 19.112.0.65).
Dynamic — For complex networks where flexibility is required
If dynamic, you must specify either ROUTED or GATED routing.
Do you plan to enable the BIND resolver? If so:
* What is the name of the BIND server you want the resolver to use
(for example, MAINSV)?
* What is the IP address of the BIND server (for example,
19.112.139.10)?
* What is the domain name (for example, mainsv.widgets.com)?

If the IP interface runs under control of the DHCP client, this information might be configured automatically. Check
with your network manager. For more information, see the DHCP client documentation.
