These instructions describe how to configure HP EISA FDDI/9000
or HSC FDDI/9000 on HP- UX version 11.0 or above. To determine the
operating system version you are using, type the following command:
uname -a
Once you have installed HP EISA FDDI/9000
HSC FDDI/9000 hardware and software, you can use SAM to automatically
configure networking.
SAM stands for System Administration Manager, a menu-driven
utility for system administration tasks, including configuration
of networking software. SAM has two user interfaces, an X-Window
system interface and a text terminal interface. The primary components
and functionality of SAM are the same for both interfaces. The differences
are the screen appearance and the navigation methods.
You can get to the SAM online help system using the following
methods:
Choose an item from the "Help"
menu (located in the menubar). This gives you information about
the current SAM screen, keyboard navigation within SAM, using the
SAM help system, and displaying the version of SAM you are currently
running.
Activate the Help
button from a dialog or message box. This gives you information
about the attributes and tasks you can do from the currently displayed
window.
Press the F1 key. This gives you context-sensitive
information for the object at the location of the cursor.
Using SAM, configuring HP EISA FDDI/9000 or HSC FDDI/9000
can be divided into two procedures:
Configuring the EISA FDDI or HSC FDDI
link
Configuring network connectivity
When configuring the EISA or HSC FDDI link, you will add the IP address, any
alias names, and, if the EISA or HSC FDDI card is on a subnetwork,
the subnet mask for your FDDI card. This procedure will automatically
initialize the FDDI link and attach your node to the local area
network (LAN). When configuring network connectivity, you
will add remote system names and remote system IP addresses for
network connectivity, and specify default gateway information.

 | NOTE: Using SAM is the preferred method for HP EISA FDDI/9000
or HSC FDDI/9000 configuration. However, SAM currently does not
support the domain name format. The domain name format is used with
the BIND name service provided with Internet Services/ 9000. If
you are using the BIND name service, you can configure the Network
Interface Card, but you cannot configure remote connectivity. You
may want to configure HP EISA FDDI/9000 or HSC FDDI/9000 manually.
See the Installing and Administering LAN/9000 Software
manual for detailed instructions on how to install and configure
software manually. |
