Cyclades-TS Installation Manual
STEP TWO
In this step, four Linux files must be modified to identify the TS1000 and its neighbors. Then, the boot parameters
are configured. The operating system provides the vi editor, which is described in the Linux appendix for the
uninitiated. The first file is /etc/hostname. The only entry should be the hostname of the Cyclades-TS. An
example is shown in Figure 4.1.
TS1000

The second file is /etc/hosts. It should contain the IP address for the Ethernet interface and the same
hostname entered in the /etc/hostname file. It may also contain IP addresses and host names for other hosts
in the network.
200.200.200.1 TS1000
200.200.200.2 RadiusServer
127.0.0.1 localhost
FIGURE 4.2 CONTENTS OF THE /ETC/HOSTS FILE
The third file that must be modified is /etc/resolv.conf. It must contain the domain name and nameserver information
for the network.
domain mycompany.com
nameserver 200.200.200.2
FIGURE 4.3 CONTENTS OF THE /ETC/RESOLV.CONF FILE
The fourth file defines static routes and is called /etc/network/st_routes. In the console server example in
Figure 4.5, the PR1000 is the gateway router and thus its IP address is configured in this file to be the default
gateway. Other static routes are also configured in this file.
