3.3.4 Configuring the Core Environment
To display the Core Environment Configuration menu, choose option 1 (Core
environment) from the Main Configuration menu. If you chose option A from the
Main Configuration menu to configure all the TCP/IP Services components, the
Core Environment Configuration menu is displayed first. The sample output in
the following sections show the progression of the procedure when you choose
option A.
You are required to configure the Domain, Interfaces, and Routing components;
BIND Resolver and Time Zone are optional.
Note
Use the Interfaces menu (option 2) to set up an interface under control
of the DHCP client. If you mark a DHCP client interface as primary,
you might not need to set up the other Core Environment components.
Ask your network manager whether these components are configured by
DHCP. For more information, see the DHCP client documentation.
