Steps
After you install a branch office IP Messaging system, you must define the
branch office server as a trusted end point on the VCX Authentication
and Directory server in the associated regional office.
See “Adding Trusted Endpoints” in Chapter 11 for instructions on how to
add trusted end points.

Sample Network Configuration Script — IP Messaging Client
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------- Welcome to the VCX Network Configuration Wizard -------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This wizard sets up networking and related services.
Configure networking now? [yes] :
Press the Enter or Return key to accept the suggested answer (yes).
--------- Configuring Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) ----------
VCX servers can use DHCP for automated configuration, but this requires
that the DHCP server is configured to provide the proper options. Unless
you know that your environment is set up in this way, you should say 'no'
here and configure static network parameters.
Use DHCP on eth0 to configure network parameters? [yes] : no
IP addresses for VCX servers must be static addresses. Enter no to
configure the network parameters for eth0 manually.
-------------------------- Configuring Hostname ---------------------------
Enter system hostname :
Enter the name that you want to use for this branch office server.
Unqualified host names must conform to the rules outlined in “
Host
Names” in Chapter 1.
