Solaris Trusted Extensions Administrator's Procedures

ProcedureHow to Add Hosts to the System's Known Network

The Computers tool in the Solaris Management Console is identical to the Computers tool in the Solaris OS. This procedure is provided here for your convenience. After the hosts are known, you then assign the hosts to a security template.

Before You Begin

You must be in an administrator who can manage networks. For example, roles that include the Network Management or System Administrator rights profiles can manage networks.

  1. In the Solaris Management Console, navigate to the Computers tool.

    For details, see How to Open the Trusted Networking Tools.

  2. In the Computers tool, confirm that you want to view all computers on the network.

  3. Add a host that this system can contact.

    You must add every host that this system might contact, including any static routers and any audit servers.

    1. From the Action menu, choose Add Computer.

    2. Identify the host by name and IP address.

    3. (Optional) Provide additional information about the host.

    4. To add the host, click Apply.

    5. When the entries are complete, click OK.

  4. Add a group of hosts that this system can contact.
