This information does not apply to the Software-Only server. The Software-Only server uses a different version of netconfig.
AE Services provides a customized version of the netconfig utility, which allows you to configure network information for the AE Server. The netconfig utility is located in /opt/mvap/bin. When you type netconfig AE Services displays a screen, which contains settings for the AE Server such as its: hostname, DNS Domain, DNS Server, network interface settings, and default gateway. Whenever you need to change these settings use the netconfig utility.
The table provides an example of the Network Information Configuration screen settings for an AE Server with multiple network interfaces (eth0, eth1, eth2, and eth3).
