Manual Network Setup

There are two ways to manually configure the network for ALOM:

• Use the setupsc script to set the network configuration variables all at once.
• Use the setsc command to set the values of each network configuration variable individually.

If you set each variable individually, you need to set the following variables:

• if_network
• netsc_ipaddr
• netsc_ipnetmask
• netsc_ipgateway
• netsc_enetaddr

Note: It is a best practice to set the ALOM device name associated with the IP (Internet Protocol) address in name server maps (NIS or DNS) to be the name of the host server with -sc appended to it. For example, if your host server's name is bert, the ALOM device name is bert-sc.
