The following is an example of a sysidcfg file for a SPARC based system. The host name, IP address, and netmask of this system have been preconfigured by editing the naming service.
network_interface=primary {hostname=wanclient default_route=192.168.198.1 ip_address=192.168.198.210 netmask=255.255.255.0 protocol_ipv6=no} timezone=US/Central system_locale=C terminal=xterm timeserver=localhost name_service=NIS {name_server=matter(192.168.255.255) domain_name=mind.over.example.com } security_policy=none
After you create the sysidcfg file, create a custom JumpStart profile for the client. For instructions, see To Create the Profile.
