interfaces for the IBM x306m server. For a definition of ELAN and
TLAN see
“Network configuration” (page 143) .
Note 2: Use the CLI command routeconfig 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) .
You can change the base parameters after the upgrade is complete using
the CLI command
baseparamsconfig . A change in the base parameters
can impact other application components. For example, if the current
server is the Primary ECM security server and the FQDN changes 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.
These parameters can also be configured individually by using the CLI
commands
networkconfig , ntpconfig , datetimeconfig , and
dnsconfig . For a list of Nortel Linux base CLI commands see Table 11
"Nortel Linux base CLI commands" (page 141) .
