Before configuring any devices for networks,
determine the full scope of IP addresses and names needed for the all the machines in your
system. Work with the network administrator at your facility to have IP addresses and names
available for your use.
It is recommended that you use the patterns offered
in SiteConfig by default to establish a consistent convention for machine names
and IP addresses. You can plan, organize, and enter this information in
SiteConfig as you develop a system description. You can do this even before you
have devices installed and/or cabled.
On 64-bit devices, configure IPv4 addresses. Disable
the IPv6 interface of the Control and FTP interfaces. SiteConfig always
configures IPv4 addresses for 64-bit devices.
