32 Initial Configuration
DXi6701/DXi6702 Installation and Configuration Guide
4 Under General, enter the following network information as provided by your
network administrator:
a Enter the Hostname used to identify the DXi6701/DXi6702 system.
The Hostname cannot be blank and must contain only letters
[ A–Z, a–z ], numbers [ 0–9 ], hyphens [ - ], underscores [ _ ], and dots [ . ].
b (Optional) Enter the Default Gateway IP address.
Specifying a default gateway is optional if all access is local to a particular
subnet. For example, if the DXi6701/DXi6702 and all of its clients are on the
same subnet, you do not need to specify a default gateway.
Caution: Specifying a default gateway is required to enable connectivity
with all subnets other than those that the DXi6701/DXi6702 is
directly connected to. For example, if the DXi6701/DXi6702 and its
clients are on different subnets, you must specify a default
gateway.
c (Optional) In the DNS Suffix Search List box, enter the local domain to search
first when resolving domain names.
The domain suffix is a single domain name. The domain name may contain only
letters (A–Z), numbers (0–9), dots (.), and hyphens (-).
d (Optional) In the Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary DNS IP Address boxes, enter
the IP address of up to three DNS servers used to resolve domain names and
translate them into IP addresses.
Caution: You must specify a DNS IP address if you plan to use hostname
format when configuring an NTP time server, outgoing e-mail
server, replication sources and targets, and other information.
5 Under IP Address Configuration > Bonding Details, configure each Ethernet port
as a separate network device:
a If necessary, click the Show link to show the bonding details table.
