4.11 Specifying a Hostname for Each IP Address

If you bound two different IP addresses to two or more network boards, the hostnames page displays. If you have only one network board, or you bound two or more network boards with the same IP address, skip to Section 4.12, Setting Up Domain Name Service.

You must specify a hostname for each of the IP addresses that were bound in Section 4.10, Installing Networking Protocols. The hostname is the name that your DNS servers resolve to the IP address. If you do not know what hostname to assign, contact your network administrator.

You must also determine which IP address will be the Primary IP address. The Primary IP address will be the default IP address for all TCP/IP services.

  1. Type a hostname in the field provided for each IP address.

  2. Select the Primary radio button next to the IP address you want to specify as the primary IP address.

  3. Click Next.
