|

help
|

If you are on a public network, use the hostname given to you by
|
||||
your institution, or corporation, etc. If your network is private,
|
||||
that is, behind a firewall such as a box to connect to your ISP,
|
||||
you can choose anything you'd like. Combined with the domain name
|
||||
"local", you have the possibility to access your computer by name
|
||||
instead of address on the private network (see RFC 6762 and
|
||||
https://www.howtogeek.com/167190/).

config INTERFACE
|

string "netword card name"
|
||||
default "eth0"
|
||||
help
|
||||
eth0 is used in most cases. Virtual insterfaces may get other
|
||||
names (for example enp0s3 for the default network stack in qemu).
|
||||
Systemd may also rename network interfaces according to their
|
||||
bus addresses.
|

config IP_ADDR
|
||||
string "Static IP address"
|
||||
default "10.0.2.9"
|
||||
help
|
||||
The default here is for a virtual interface in qemu. Private
|
||||
networks have addresses in the range 10.x.x.x or 192.169.x.x.
|
||||
You have to know your network prefix. Then the last figure
|
||||
may be anything you like.

|
||||
config GATEWAY
|
||||
string "Gateway"
|
||||
default "10.0.2.2"
|
||||
help
|
||||
Again, this default is for a qemu network stack. Usually, the
|
||||
gateway is the address of your firewall.
|
||||
config PREFIX
|
||||
string "Subnet prefix"
|
||||
default "24"
|
||||
help
|
||||
Again, this default is for a qemu network stack, but is also
|
||||
the most used in private networks.
|
||||
config BROADCAST
|
||||
string "Broadcast address"
|
||||
default "10.0.2.255"

config DOMAIN
|

|

default "lfs.org"

string "Domain name (see help)"

default "local"
|
||||
help
|
||||
Domain Name:
|
||||
Doamin names are registered, so if your computer is on a public
|
||||
network, you cannot use any name you'd like. On a public
|
||||
network, you should have been given a domain name by
|
||||
your corporation, institution, etc.
|
||||
If your network is really private, that is behind a firewall
|
||||
such as a box for connecting to an ISP, you can choose any
|
||||
domain you'd like. You can also opt for "local", see RFC 6762,
|
||||
or "something.test", see RFC 6761.
|
||||
config DNS1
|

string "Primary Name server"
