Configuring network settings
After starting the VMware or Hyper-V virtual machine, some network settings are needed. By default netLD receives its IP address and configuration from DHCP. Because DHCP only gives temporary IP addresses, or in an environment without a DHCP server, add a static IP address and configuration.
* All network settings are keyboard operations.
1. Type [1] to add a [Static IP Address].
2. Type [1] to select [eth0 (Primary)].
3. Enter the following items to match your network environment, and type [y] to save the setting.
Item | Description | Required |
Hostname | Enter the desired hostname | P |
NTP Server | Enter DNS name or IP address of the NTP server | P |
IP Address | Enter the desired IP address | P |
Netmask | Enter your subnet mask | P |
Gateway | Enter the default gateway IP address | P |
DNS 1 | Enter the IP address of your primary DNS server | P |
DNS 2 (Optional) | Enter the IP address of your secondary DNS server | O |
4. After saving the setting, the service is automatically restarted.
