— The domain name

Note:

A Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) consists of a

host name and a domain name, and includes a top-level domain

name. Using kwei.ca.nortel.com as an example, kwei is the

host name, ca.nortel.com is the domain name, and .com is the

top-level domain name. The FQDN must contain at least three

fields separated by dots.

—

TLAN IP address

—

TLAN gateway IP address

— TLAN netmask

— Timezone

— IP address of Network Time Protocol (NTP) Server

— IP address of the Primary Domain Name Service (DNS) server

—

Default system gateway associated with the network interface

(ELAN or TLAN)

Note 1: The choice of ELAN or TLAN as the default gateway

NIC can be influenced by the applications that you are going to

deploy on the server and by network topology. For a definition of

ELAN and TLAN see “Network configuration” (page 143).

Note 2: The CLI command

routeconfig can be used to add

routing entries. The choice of routing entries will depend upon

the network topology and application deployment. For a list of

Nortel Linux base CLI commands see Table 11 "Nortel Linux

base CLI commands" (page 141).

The base parameters can be changed after the installation is complete

using the CLI command baseparamsconfig. A change in the base

parameters can affect other application components. For example, if

the current server is the Primary ECM security server and the FQDN is

changed it is necessary to reinstall the applications.

The CLI command baseparamsconfig is an umbrella command that

you can use to configure parameters for network settings, Network Time

Protocol settings, date and time settings, and DNS settings. You can

configure these parameters individually by using the CLI commands
