Planning the Network
You need to do a great deal of planning before you set up your network. As part of the planning process, you must perform the following steps, which are described in the following sections:
1. |
Obtain a network number and, if applicable, register your network domain with the InterNIC addressing authority, as described in the section “Planning for IP Addressing” later in this chapter. |
2. |
After you receive your IP network number, devise an IP addressing scheme for your hosts, as described in the section “IP Addressing (IPv4)” later in this chapter. |
3. |
Create a list containing the IP addresses and hostnames of all the machines that will make up your network. You will use this list as you build network databases. |
4. |
Determine which name service to use on your network: NIS, NIS+, DNS, or the network databases in the local /etc directory. Name services are discussed later in this chapter. |
Only after carefully planning your network are you ready to start setting it up.
