NOTE: Make sure the HP EISA FDDI/9000 or HSC FDDI/9000 adapter and software are installed in the system before you use SAM to configure the software.

Log in as root and do the following:

  1. At the HP-UX prompt, type: sam

  2. Select Networking and Communications in the SAM main window.

  3. Select Network Interface Cards in the Networking and Communications window.

  4. Highlight the EISA or HSC FDDI card that you want to configure from the object list.

    If you do not know the PPA of the card interface, use the lanscan command to obtain this information.

  5. Verify that the hardware path is correct for your EISA or HSC FDDI adapter.

  6. If you are configuring the first logical interface for a card type (also called the "initial interface"), 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 Interfaces from the "Actions" menu to open the Configure LAN Card window.

    1. Enter the information about the EISA or HSC FDDI 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.

    2. Choose FDDI as the card type for your EISA or HSC FDDI card.

      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.

    3. Enter the Internet address for your EISA or HSC FDDI 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.

    4. Specify whether your EISA or HSC FDDI card will be on a subnetwork.

      If you choose YES, enter the subnet mask for your subnetwork.

    5. Optionally, enter comments about your EISA or HSC FDDI card.

    6. Choose Add Aliases for Internet Address to open the Add/Modify Aliases window.

    7. Add, modify, or remove alias names for your EISA or HSC FDDI card.

    8. Activate the OK button to perform the task and return to the Configure LAN Card window.

  7. Activate the OK button at the Configure LAN Card window to enable your EISA or HSC FDDI card.

    NOTE: If the software is correctly configured, SAM displays the Network Card Configuration object list with the status Enabled for your EISA or HSC FDDI card; otherwise, SAM displays an error message.

  8. At the Network Interface Card window, choose Exit from the "File" menu.

    NOTE: If you have moved or removed any EISA or HSC FDDI cards from the system, HP recommends that you verify the IP address of every card in the backplane before leaving SAM.

  9. At the Networking and Communications window, choose Exit SAM from the "File" menu.

  10. Go to the next section, "Verifying the Installation."
