On a non-networked system (a system with no IP address) or for testing purposes, you can set up an administration system in a loopback arrangement. This enables only a locally running agent to communicate with the System Manager on the same system; no other agent systems can be monitored. To configure a loopback system, follow these steps: On the administration system, log in as ids, as follows: Edit the agent configuration file. For example: Set the value of IDS_LISTEN_IFACE to the following: IDS_LISTEN_IFACE 127.0.0.1 Set the value of REMOTEHOST in ids.cf to the following: Edit the System Manager script, as follows: Set the value of INTERFACE in idsgui to the following: Start the System Manager. For more information, see “Starting the HP-UX HIDS System Manager”. On the Host Manager screen, set up the administration system as an agent system, using 127.0.0.1 as its IP address. For more information, see “Adding a New Host Manually” and “Modifying a Host”.
