Administering network interfaces with CVLAN - using the Any network setting

About this task

Use this procedure to use the Any setting for client connectivity.

The /etc/hosts file must contain the IP address of the host computer on which the CVLAN clients are on.

Procedure

  1. Log in as root user.
  2. On the command line interface run the following command:
    uname –n

    Linux displays the network node hostname which refers to the AE Server name, for example aeserver1. Make a note of the AE Server name.

  3. Type ifconfig eth0 to get the IP address of the host (this assumes that you are using eth0 for client connectivity).

    Make a note of the IP address of the AE Server. For example, inet addr: 192.168.123.44.

  4. Use a text editor to open the /etc/hosts file.

    Make sure that the /etc/hosts file contains the AE Server name along with its IP address (see the figure).

  5. If the /etc/hosts file does not contain this AE Server name and IP address entry, add it to the file.
