Cyclades-TS Installation & Service Manual
STEP TWO
Any
configuration change must be saved in flash once validated. To save in flash run saveconf (seen
later in this chapter). To validate a configuration run signal_ras hup and check for the ending results
(seen later in this chapter).
In this step, four Linux files must be modified to identify the Cyclades-TS 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 6.1.
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 6.2 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
