Colocation setup
 

Hi everyone,

I'm a relative newbie, about to get neck deep in it. I'm researching a colocation option and have a question.

What is information I need to configure a linux server (Fedora 3) for colocation?

Thanks in advance,

Raj

Welcome to LQ.

Initialy you will just need to ask the colo staff what IP address/netmask to use and which address should be used as a default route/gateway.

So long as you set it up with a service you can control the system by - ie ssh, you can make any changes you want after installation.

I've managed to obtain the ip, subnet, gateway and dns from the datacentre.

How do I config them? what is the command? and how do I verify that the config is done right?

Appreciate your help :)

You should be able to use the "netconfig" command which will prompt you for details.

You can verify the changes with:
ifconfig
route -n

Also make sure you have a remote admin service like ssh running and the firewall open before you've finished.
