6.3 Using the Define Networks tool
The Define Networks tool enables you to preset network configuration settings called a “network”;
the defined network corresponds to a subnet where servers will reside. You assign these network
settings to the servers in the Network Configuration Editor.
The advantages of the Define Network tool include the following:
•
You assign the parameters only once.
•
Network parameters can be assigned to multiple servers.
•
If you want, you can allow for automatic IP address assignment to servers.
•
Assigning a “network” to a server, instead of entering all the network configuration parameters,
saves time and effort.
•
If a network parameter changes, you only need to update the named network.
•
The parameters that you enter are validated for correctness.
The virtual media deployment functions enable the use of the information from the Define Networks
and Network Configuration Editor tools. Thus, the servers assigned with these tools must be set for
Virtual media.
To define the network configuration parameters, start the Define Networks tool by selecting the
Options
→IC-Linux→Define Networks... menu item. You can also start this tool from the Network
Configuration Editor.
