Chapter 3. Configuring your server

Setting the initial IP address using a diskette
To set the initial IP address using a diskette, do the following:
1. Format a diskette using computer running DOS or Windows, or create a DOS file
system on the diskette if you are using some other computer.
2. Create a file in the root directory of the diskette called initsys.ini with an initial
configuration file containing the new IP address of the appliance.
The diskette can contain the following information:
• Initial IP address
• Host name of the appliance
• IP address of gateway device (default route)
• Network mask
• IP address of primary DNS name server
• System password
The following is an example configuration file:
IPaddress=10.1.1.1
Subnet=255.255.255.0
GatewayAddress=9.27.67.1
The configuration file contains only 7-bit standard ASCII characters. Lines
beginning with # are treated as comments. All blank spaces are ignored.
Keywords can appear in any order, and the keyword names are case-sensitive.
The following keywords are available:
Notes:
a. The only required parameter in the initial configuration file is the initial IP
address. The system password parameter default is password .
b. If any parameters other than the initial IP address are not specified, the
administrator must use the initial configuration wizard that is provided by
the Appliance System Manager to complete the initial configuration of the
appliance. Any values that are supplied in the file are automatically filled in
when using the wizard, so that you do not have to type them again.
3. Insert the diskette into the appliance and turn on the appliance.
Note:
The diskette must be in the appliance when the appliance is started for
the contents of the diskette to be read.
