Network Engineering and Technology Examples for filling out F00x4_B
This page shows screen shots of how to complete different requests using F00x4_B, Addendum for Multiple Interface/IP/Domain Names. Each link will jump to the appropriate method to fill out the form correctly. Please only put a single machines information per form. This ensures that the proper information is assigned to the default server.
MAC Address
To add a new Interface for an existing server with a second DNS Name (optional).
In the first row, enter the information for the default interface of the existing server. The new information is entered into the second and subsequent rows. If it is a new physical interface, in the second row first column, select "New", in the second column select "Add. Interface", in the third column enter the additional MAC address. In the third row first column, select “New”, in the second column select “Add. IP” and in the forth column enter any DNS name for the new IP.

In the case that the default interface of a server needs to be changed (bad ethernet card, etc.)
A request can be made to have multiple IP addresses assigned to the same MAC address. Normally these additional IP addresses would also have additional DNS Names. In this case, the first row contains the the information from the master record for the server. The second row will contain the new information, in the first column select "New", second column select "Add. IP", third column enter the MAC address the IP will be assigned to (this can be the same MAC as the default setting in the case of a virtualized server), in the last column blank, enter the DNS Name to be assigned to the New IP Address.
There are times when the IP address for a server will need to be changed other then due to a building upgrade, such as the server is moved to a different building. In this case, the first row contains the information from the master record for the server. The second row will contain the existing information to be removed, in the first column select "Remove", second column select "Add. IP", third column enter the IP that is assigned to the server, and in the last column, any DNS Name associated with this IP Address. The third row will contain the new information to be added, in the first column select "New", secon colun select "Add IP", third column enter "IP <new > network" and in the last column the DNS Name for the interface (same as the last row). For any Aliases (forth row) in the first column select "Keep", second column select "Alias", third column leave blank, enter the DNS Name to be assigned to the IP Address.
Remove IP Address
If a server is being decommissioned or a service is being removed from the server which will require an IP address to be removed from the server, then the first row will contain the information for the default server, with the first column set to Change, unless the server is being decommissioned. The second row will have the first column set to "Remove"; the second column will be set to "Add. IP", the third column will have the IP Address to be removed, the fourth column will be any DNS Name. If there is an Alias to be removed as well, then the next row will be used for this purpose. Select "Remove" in the first column, select "Alias" in the second column, leave the third column blank, and enter the Alias assigned to the IP in the fourth column.
Adding additional DNS Names. Mark the first column as New, the second as Alias, the third column is the IP address that needs to have the new Alias assigned, the last column is the Alias to be assigned. Multiple Aliases can be assigned to an IP Address.
If you wish to create an alias to an "off site" service, enter "Off Site” in the MAC or IP field on the first line of the form then on the second row, in the first column select “New”, the second column select [Alias], the third column enter the off campus IP of the server and in the last column enter the DNS name for the service.
If you want to create a new sub-domain which still uses DNS resolution done by Mason's servers but points to off-campus hosts, you need to fill out an F0039 for the new domain and then an F00x4_B form for the off campus hosts
The third column of row 1 must be completed as "Off Site" for this type of request
