Configure all SERVERS with STATIC IP numbers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• Fill in appropriate details in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 etc
• IF the box needs more than 1 ip address on the same network use
  • /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0 for the first alias
  • and put in just the IPADDR entry
• No need to add ip addr to /etc/rc.local if you do the above.

What is the best spot for redhat 9 network config? One of the following:

• /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts This is the spot
• /etc/sysconfig/networking
• /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices

What tool is being used - or is this all manual config still? We should be consistent!!!!!

I don't think we need the file hostname
if we add FQDN in /etc/hosts, it will fix the problem

/etc/hosts
