7.2.2 More Than One Nameserver

The

netconfig

command allows the user to set up one nameserver’s IP address. It is

possible to have multiple nameservers, which must be done outside of the

netconfig

command. The nameserver data is in the file

/etc/resov.conf

.

If you want to have more

than one nameserver, you must edit the file

.

For more information, refer to the

man

page

for

resolv.conf

.

In this file, you will find the IP address you entered with

netconfig

.

You can add the

address of additional nameservers. (a maximum of 3 nameservers is allowed) to this file.
The format of a line is:

nameserver <IP address>.

7.3 Change Hostname

The SCS includes a command

changehostname

which allows the root user to change the

long hostname of the SCS unit.

1. Log in as

root

.

2. Type

changehostname

. The current hostname is displayed and you are prompted to

choose

y/n

to proceed.

3. If you select

y

(yes) to change, you are prompted to enter the new hostname.

!

Note: If you make a mistake in your entry, do not attempt to edit it. Reject the

incorrect entry and re-enter the value properly.

4. Enter your new hostname value. Press

y

to accept the new value.

5. Remember to run

save

when done to keep your new values.

6. After changing the hostname and/or clock settings, reboot to make the changes

permanent. These two settings (clock and hostname) are only saved during an
orderly shutdown. Loss of power before reboot will revert to the old values.

7.4 Time Configuration

Use the command

timeconfig

to set up the date/time and time coordinates. This is a self-

prompting utility. To keep your values, run

save

when completed. After changing clock

settings, reboot the SCS to make changes permanent.

!

Note: If changing the Time Zone (during

timeconfig

changes) restart the LCD

display service so the front panel display can update. Use the command

service lcd

restart

after completing the

timeconfig

options.

7.5 Change NIC Speed

You can change the NIC interface configuration to auto-sensing or fixed, to full or half duplex,
and to 10Mb or 100Mb. The following file information is found in the file

/etc/modules.conf

with some additional instructions on to how to set the NIC speed.
