Performing Basic Network Configuration

The administrator must specify basic network settings before regular users can connect to and manage the KVM/net and the connected devices through a browser.

Do one of the following to assign a fixed IP address to the KVM/net, and to configure other networking parameters:

•	Through a console connection, log in and use the wiz command.

See Configuring Basic Networking Using the wiz Command.

•	Through a local KVM connection, log in to the OSD and configure networking through the network screen.

See Configuring Basic Networking Using the OSD.

Before you start, collect the following network information from the administrator of the network where the KVM/net is to reside.

Hostname:

KVM/net’s public IP address:

Domain name:

DNS server’s IP address:

Gateway IP address:

Network mask:

KVM/net’s MAC address (from the label on the bottom):

NTP server’s IP address (if you are using a time/date server):

Note: The following procedures tell you to disable DHCP. Enabling DHCP requires a DHCP server at your site.
