Configuring Network Connectivity

Your system may not be able to communicate with other systems (for example, PCs, workstations, servers, etc.) until you configure system-to- system connections. You can use SAM to do this automatically by completing the following steps:

Log in as root.
At the HP-UX prompt, type: sam
Double-click on Networking and Communications in the SAM main window.
Double-click on Internet Addresses in the Networking and Communications window.
SAM displays the remote system names and IP addresses that are already configured.
Choose Add from the "Actions" menu to open the Add Internet Connectivity window.
Use the SAM online help system for information about adding remote system connections.
1. Enter the Internet Address for the remote system.
  NOTE: Upon exiting the Internet Address field, SAM checks to make sure you have entered a valid IP address. SAM also determines if a gateway is required for the connection.
2. Enter the remote system name.
  NOTE: Upon exiting the Remote System Name field, SAM checks to make sure that connectivity has not already been configured for this system. If it has, SAM displays an error message.
3. Optionally, choose Add Aliases to open the Add Aliases window for remote systems.
4. Add, modify, or remove alias names for the remote system.
5. Activate the OK button to perform the task and return to the Add Internet Connectivity window.
6. Proceed to step 5 if a gateway is not required for this remote connection.
  NOTE: SAM displays fields for entering gateway information if a gateway is required for this remote system connection. Use the SAM online help system for information about gateways.

Activate the OK button to enable your system to communicate with this system and return to the Internet Addresses window.

SAM updates the object list to include the remote system you configured.




	NOTE: You can modify or remove remote systems and modify default gateways by highlighting the Remote System Name from the object list and choosing Modify, Remove, or Modify Default Gateway from the "Actions" menu.

Exit the Internet Addresses window, then exit SAM.

To verify that you can communicate with a remote system using HP FDDI/ 9000, continue to "Verifying Remote System Configuration."
