CAUTION Linux system setup and recovery configuring your Linux workstation Files that are modified with these network changes are: /etc/resolv.conf /etc/sysconfig/network /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 2. DHCP boot protocol If you choose DHCP booting, your IP address, hostname, gateway, netmask, domain name, and DNS server information are all set up for you at boot time. It should also set up your NIS information. However, the current DHCP client-side implementation from Red Hat does not request this from the server, so you will have to set that up yourself if you use it. See the Sections "Setting Up Network Authorization Parameters" and "DNS Parameters Configuration" in this Chapter. The file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 is modified when you select DHCP. 3. BOOTP boot protocol BOOTP is a subset of DHCP and will not be fully described here. It gets your IP address, hostname, gateway and netmask, but does not set up your DNS server information or NIS authentication, so you will have to do that yourself. The file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 is modified when you select BOOTP. Choose the Boot Protocol that is appropriate for your system. If you do not know which protocol to choose, ask your system administrator. The following instructions assume you are using the Static protocol. Once you have completed setting the functionality for this tab, you can go to the next tab. Do not click on the Save button until you have setup all workstation functionality as this will exit you from the Linux Setup Tool. Chapter 2 35
