Local Area Network Administration
This chapter describes how to configure the local area network (LAN) interfaces on
the Netra Proxy Cache Server using the Local Area Network module.
Local Area Network Requirements
A network interface consists of three elements:
4 Network Port
The network port provides the physical link between machines that comprise a
network. Ports can be built into the Netra server, or they can be provided by PCI
cards in the server. The Netra server supports Fast Ethernet 100 BASE-T (hme).
4 Network Protocol
The network protocol defines the communication that travels over the network. The
Netra server supports the TCP/IP network protocols. The TCP/IP protocol suite
supports the definition of multiple interfaces for a network hardware port and
network protocol.
4 Interface Definition
The interface definition is the configuration information that is specific to the Netra
server. For example, the Netra server requires host addresses for TCP/IP interfaces.
