USRobotics NETServer/8 - Manual (Page 20)

2-4 Basic Installation
Getting Started
Name your NETServer. Among other things, this name will be
used for the NETServer’s DNS system name and its SNMP
system name. It is also the name that the NETServer will
advertise in SAP broadcasts. No other device on your network
should be using this name. Use the following command:
set sysname <name (up to 32 characters)>
Enter
The next thing you need to do is get your NETServer talking to
the network attached to its LAN port. This section below titled
Getting the LAN port up and running contains the minimum
configuration needed to allow the NETServer to talk to your
Ethernet or Token Ring LAN. Keep in mind that these may not
be the only parameters you’ll want or need to set—just the ones
you must set. A complete listing of LAN port parameters can be
found in Chapter 10.
Once you have configured the NIC interfaces, we recommend
that you proceed to global configuration. The parts of this that
most administrators will want to do right away can be found
later in this chapter under Recommended Global Configuration. A
more complete listing of global parameters can be found in
Chapter 10.
