Infocast Server IP address

There are no special actions that needs to be done regarding the Infocast configuration files when changing IP address on the server.

Fedora linux

  1. Edit the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 to match the new IP address, broadcast address, netmask and network address.
  2. Edit the /etc/resolve.conf file to match the new DNS servers.
  3. Re-initiate the network service with the command service network restart

Solaris

  1. Edit the /etc/hosts file to match the new IP address.
  2. Edit the /etc/resolve.conf file to match the new DNS servers.
  3. Edit the /etc/defaultrouter to match the new default gateway.
  4. Set the IP address and netmask. The following command sets IP address to 111.111.3.6 and netmask to 255.255.255.0. hme0 is the name of the interface, this may vary depending on the servers configuration.

    ifconfig hme0 set 111.111.3.6/24

  5. Edit the /etc/netmasks file to match the new network ID and netmask.
  6. Re-initiate the network

Multiple network interfaces

The multicast traffic from the Infocast service will be sent to the default gateway is there is no special multicast route set. If there are several network interfaces in the machine and you wish to send the multicast traffic to a specific one, set a multicast route.

Example to send multicast traffic to eth1:

$ route add -net 224.0.0.0/4 dev eth1
$ route -n
