After Installing a Network Client

After you have finished editing the files on each network client machine, do the following on the network configuration server.

  1. Add entries for the hosts in the ethers and hosts databases.

  2. Add entries for the hosts to the bootparams database.

    To simplify matters, you can type a wild card in the bootparams database in place of individual entries for each host. For an example, see "bootparams Database".

  3. Reboot the server.
