How to Configure the Primary Network
Interface
Before You Begin
You must perform the following tasks:
■
Complete the prerequisite steps in “How to Install the Sun Fire 880 Server” on
page 25.
■
Decide which of the network interfaces you want to use as the primary network
interface; see “About Network Interface Options” on page 104.
■
Attach a cable to the appropriate network connector on the system rear panel; see
“How to Attach a Fiber-Optic Gigabit Ethernet Cable” on page 112 or “How to
Attach a Twisted-Pair Ethernet Cable” on page 114. If you are using a PCI
network interface card, see the documentation supplied with the card.
What to Do
1. Choose a host name for the system.
The host name must be unique within the network. It can consist of characters and
numbers. Do not use a dot in the host name. Do not begin the name with a number
or a special character.
2. Determine the unique Internet Protocol (IP) address of the network interface.
An IP address must be assigned by your network administrator. Each network
device or interface must have a unique IP address.
3. Resume the installation of the system.
