Guided/Unguided Configuration |
 |
Use the function keys on this screen to select the guided
or the unguided configuration branch for NS configuration. If you
are using domain names for network access, enter the domain name
for the system you are configuring in the local domain name field
in place of the local node name. (If you are not using domain names,
leave the local node name as is.)
If you are entering a domain name, press the [Save Data] key to save the domain name in the configuration file
before continuing.
Hewlett-Packard recommends that you press the [Guided Config] key to select the guided configuration branch whenever
you need to initially configure a network interface. Guided configuration
supplies many default values for your configuration and requires
that you visit a minimal number of screens. To use the guided configuration
screens, refer to the HP e3000/iX Network Planning and
Configuration Guide.
If you need to modify configuration values that are not available
on the guided screens, press the [Unguided Config] key to select the unguided configuration branch. This
manual provides information on every screen available to you through
unguided NS configuration.
Fields
- Local domain name
If you are not using domain names for network access, leave
the local node name in this field.
If you are using domain names, enter the name of this system
in the ARPANET standard format. This name can be used by other nodes
on the network to access this host.
The domain name is composed of labels, with each label separated
by a period. Each label must start with a letter or digit and have
as interior characters only letters, digits, hyphens (-) or underbars
(_). A domain name may have any number of labels but its total length,
including periods, is limited to 255 characters. Domain names are
not case sensitive.
