| | | |  | NOTE: Make sure the LAN card and driver are installed in the
system before you use SAM to configure the software. | | | | |
Log in as root and do the following: At the HP-UX prompt, type: sam Select the Networking and Communications item of the SAM main window. Select the Network Interface Cards item of the Networking and Communications window. Double-click the LAN card that you want to configure
from the object list. Verify that the hardware path is correct for your
LAN card (by comparing the hardware path on the Configure LAN Card
window with the hardware path from the output of the commands ioscan -fdbtlan and lanscan -v). If you are configuring the first logical interface
for a card type (also called the “initial interface”),
highlight the card and choose Configure from the “Actions” menu to open
the Configure LAN Card window. If you are adding logical interfaces to a card type, choose Add IP Logical Interface from the “Actions” menu to open
the Configure LAN Card window. Enter the information about the LAN card. To do so, press
the Tab key to move through the data entry
fields. | | | | | NOTE: SAM displays the Card Name, Hardware (H/W) Path, and
Station Address fields with the appropriate values. These fields
cannot be modified. | | | | |
Choose the Card Type of your LAN card. The default
is Ethernet. SNAP802.3 can be selected. | | | | | NOTE: The Enable DHCP button specifies that the system is
a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client. If you activate
this button, the IP parameters for this system will be set using
DHCP. | | | | |
Enter the Internet address for your LAN card. Upon exiting the Internet Address field, SAM checks to make
sure that the IP address you entered is correctly formatted and
is not currently in use. Specify whether your LAN card will be on a subnetwork
or supernet. The Subnet Mask field can contain a fixed-length subnet mask,
a variable-length subnet mask, or a supernet mask. Enter the appropriate
type of mask for your network addressing scheme. Refer to the “Network Addressing” chapter
for more information regarding network addressing schemes. Optionally, enter comments about your LAN card. Choose Add Host Name Aliases. You must complete this step if you have more
than one LAN card installed in your system. Add, modify, or remove alias host names for your
logical interface. Activate the OK button to perform
the task and return to the Configure LAN Card window. Optionally activate the Advanced Options button.
This will allow you to modify the Station Address and configure
an Internet Broadcast Address. The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU)
field is display only.
Activate the OK button at the Configure LAN Card window to enable your LAN card. If the software is correctly configured, SAM displays the
Network Interface Cards object list with the status Enabled for
your LAN card; otherwise, SAM displays an error message. Choose Exit from the “File” menu. At the Networking and Communications window, choose Exit SAM from the “File” menu. | | | | | NOTE: If you have moved or removed any LAN cards from the
system, HP recommends that you verify
the IP address of every card in the backplane before leaving SAM. | | | | |
IP accesses LAN devices through a single Data Link
Provider Interface (DLPI) device file /dev/dlpi. The /dev/dlpi file is created automatically during installation.
Verify that the /dev/dlpi file has been created correctly by executing
the HP-UX command: The output appears something like the following: crw-rw-rw- 1 bin bin 72 0x000077 Dec 4 11:14 /dev/dlpi |
The major number, shown in the fifth column, must be 72 (decimal)
and the minor number, shown in the sixth column, must be 77 (hexadecimal).
If the major numbers or minor numbers are not correct, delete the
device file and recreate it with the correct numbers using the mknod command. For example: mknod /dev/dlpi c 72 0x77 |
Continue to the next section, “Configuring
Network Connectivity” if you want to configure your system for network
connectivity. Otherwise, continue to “Verifying
the Installation”. |
