= So you want to join the martian network? =

 * First, you need a name for your machine. [[Computers_and_Scripts/Pool_of_Names_for_Computers|Here are some ideas]]
 * Determine the IP address you want to use for this computer and add it to the domain name server running on `chiara`:
   a. Modify these files, following the pattern you see for the other machines:{{{
/var/lib/bind/martian.hosts
/var/lib/bind/rev.113.168.192.in-addr.arpa
}}}
   a. Restart the name server on `chiara` after these changes:{{{
$ sudo service bind9 restart
}}}

== What if my hardware is weird and needs to connect via DHCP? ==
(This was the case for the wireless router around the vertex)
 * Open up `/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf` on `chiara` and look for the section that looks like{{{
# Static hosts via DHCP via MAC address
subnet 192.168.113.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
    range 192.168.113.240 192.168.113.250;  # This reserves some IPs for DHCP devices
    [...]
}}}
 * Add a `host` block like so, where you see the other ones{{{
host foo.martian{
    hardware ethernet FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF;  # THIS IS THE MAC ADDRESS OF THE DEVICE
    fixed-address 192.168.113.XXX;        # Pick something in the range 240-250
    ddns-hostname "foo";
    }
}}}

 * Now restart the DHCP server, and the name server for good measure{{{
sudo service bind9 restart
sudo service isc-dhcp-server restart
}}}
== What if I'm adding a frontend?? ==
 * Add the MAC address of the machine to the martian DHCP server running on `fb`:
   * Determine the MAC address of the ethernet port that will be connected to the martian network (e.g. {{/sbin/ifconfig eth0}}})
   * Modify `fb:/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf` file by adding a new stanza for the machine:{{{
host newmachine {
  hardware ethernet 00:14:4F:EB:48:40;
  fixed-address 192.168.113.209;
}
}}} 
   * Restart the `dhcpd` server on `fb`:{{{
$ sudo /etc/init.d/dhcpd restart}}}
   * On chiara, the way to restart the `dhcpd` server is:{{{
$ sudo service isc-dhcp-server restart}}}
 * Add the new machine IP address to the front-end `/etc/hosts` file in `fb:/diskless/root/etc/hosts`.
 * Set the new computer to boot remotely in it's BIOS.  Remove booting from any other devices (in fact, it's good to remove any media from the machine that it could potentially boot from).
 * Connect the martian ethernet port to the martian network.
 * Connect the DAQ ethernet port to the DAQ network.
 * Add the computer name and it's models to `fb:/diskless/root/etc/rtsystab`.
