The domain name

Note:

A Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) consists of a

host name and a domain name, and includes a top-level domain
name. Using kwei.ca.nortel.com as an example, kwei is the
host name, ca.nortel.com is the domain name, and .com is the
top-level domain name. The FQDN must contain at least three
fields separated by dots.

TLAN IP address

TLAN gateway IP address

TLAN netmask

Timezone

IP address of Network Time Protocol (NTP) Server

IP address of the Primary Domain Name Service (DNS) server

Default system gateway associated with the network interface
(ELAN or TLAN)

Note 1:

The choice of ELAN or TLAN as the default gateway

NIC can be influenced by the applications that you are going to
deploy on the server and by network topology. For a definition of
ELAN and TLAN see

“Network configuration” (page 143)

.

Note 2:

The CLI command

routeconfig

can be used to add

routing entries. The choice of routing entries will depend upon
the network topology and application deployment. For a list of
Nortel Linux base CLI commands see

Table 11 "Nortel Linux

base CLI commands" (page 141)

.

The base parameters can be changed after the installation is complete
using the CLI command

baseparamsconfig

. A change in the base

parameters can affect other application components. For example, if
the current server is the Primary ECM security server and the FQDN is
changed it is necessary to reinstall the applications.

The CLI command

baseparamsconfig

is an umbrella command that

you can use to configure parameters for network settings, Network Time
Protocol settings, date and time settings, and DNS settings. You can
configure these parameters individually by using the CLI commands
