In order to make the EAS work properly, you need to add the LOCAL_EAS_IP 
variable to the .profile file. This procedure describes how to add the LOCAL_EAS_IP 
variable. 

 

Complete the following steps to add the LOCAL_EAS_IP variable to the .profile file. 
1  If necessary, open an xterm window on the DNCS. 
2  Type cat  /etc/hosts  |  grep  dncseth and then press Enter. The system displays 

the value of the dncseth variable in the /etc/hosts file. 

3  In the space provided, record the IP address associated with dncseth. 

______________ 
Note: This IP address represents the Ethernet address of the DNCS, which you 
will need in step 8. 

4  Type grep -i LOCAL_EAS_IP /export/home/dncs/.profile and then press Enter 

and you will search the /export/home/dncs/.profile file. 
Note: Type a space between grep -i LOCAL_EAS_IP 
and/export/home/dncs/.profile.  

5  Verify if the entry LOCAL_EAS_IP is in the file and go to step 6. 
6  Does the entry contain the IP address of the dncseth entry in the /etc/hosts file? 

 

If yes, go to Enable Optional and Licensed Features (on page 53). 

 

If no, go to step 7. 

7  Type vi  .profile and then press Enter. The .profile file opens for editing using 

the Unix vi text editor. 

8  Append the following line to the .profile file: 

export  LOCAL_EAS_IP=[Ethernet address of the DNCS] 
Note:  Substitute the Ethernet address of the DNCS for [Ethernet address of the 
DNCS] that you recorded in step 3. 

9  Save the file and close the vi text editor. 

Note:  Your changes to the .profile will take effect when you restart the system 
components in the next procedure. 

10  Go to Enable Optional and Licensed Features (on page 53).
