Configure Oracle System Assistant Networking
This section describes how to configure a network connection so you can use Oracle System
Assistant.
When Oracle System Assistant starts, it tries to connect to DHCP on NET0.
■
If NET0 is connected to a network that is DHCP enabled, and auto configuration succeeds,
no more configuration is necessary.
■
If NET0 is connected to a network that is not DHCP enabled, you must configure a network
connection.
These settings normally need to be set once, the first time you use Oracle System Assistant.
1.
Launch Oracle System Assistant as described in “Launching Oracle System
Assistant” on page 101.
2.
Select the Network Configuration tab.
3.
Fill in the network configuration details.
For details, see "Configure Network Interface Settings (Oracle System Assistant)" in Oracle X5
Series Servers Administration Guide at https://www.oracle.com/goto/x86admindiag/docs.
