How to Configure the Primary Network
Interface
Before You Begin
You must perform the following tasks:
■ Complete the installation steps in “How to Install the Sun Fire V890 Server” on
page 24.
■ Attach a cable to the appropriate network connector on the system rear panel; see
“How to Attach a Fiber-Optic Gigabit Ethernet Cable” on page 97 or “How to
Attach a Twisted-Pair Ethernet Cable” on page 99.
If you are using a PCI network interface card, see the documentation supplied with
the card.
Note – All internal options (except disk drives and power supplies) must be
installed only by qualified service personnel. Installation procedures for these
components are covered in the Sun Fire V890 Server Service Manual, which is
included on the Sun Fire V890 Documentation CD.
What to Do
1. Choose a host name for the system.
The host name must be unique within the network. It can consist only of
alphanumeric characters and the dash (-). Do not use a dot in the host name. Do not
begin the name with a number or a special character. The name must not be longer
than 30 characters.
2. Determine the unique Internet Protocol (IP) address of the network interface and
make a note of it.
You need to furnish the address in a later step.
An IP address must be assigned by your network administrator. Each network
device or interface must have a unique IP address.
3. Resume the installation of the system.
