Configuring Host Files

After installing the IntraServer ITI-8241C-S CompactPCI

®

Adapter, you

must create a hostname.qfe<num> file for each Ethernet interface. You must
also assign an IP address and a hostname for each Ethernet interface in the
/etc/hosts file.

Installing the software for the ITI-8241C-S
qfe adapter entry

Create an /etc/hostname.qfe0 file. The number 0 following qfe represents the
first instance of the qfe device. Use channel qfe1 for a second Ethernet
channel and so on.

Do not create /etc/hostname.qfe<num> files for the IntraServer qfe
channels (if any) you do not plan to use. The /etc/hostname.qfe<num>
file must contain the hostname for the appropriate network interface.

The hostname should have an IP address and should be entered in the
/etc/hosts file.

The hostname should be different from any hostname of any other
interface, for example: /etc/hostname.qfe0 and /etc/hostname.qfe1
cannot share the same hostname.

The following is an example of the /etc/hostname.qfe<num> files
required for a machine called intra that will be known as intra-1 and
intra-2 on the networks connected to the qfe0 and qfe1 Ethernet
interfaces.

intra # cat /etc/hostname.qfe0
intra-1
intra # cat /etc/hostname.qfe1
intra-2
intra # cat /etc/hostname.qfe2
intra-3
