Configuration Using SAM
Using SAM with Model 712, HP 9000 EISA, or Series
800 HP-PB Systems
Using SAM, configuring Token Ring can be divided into three
procedures:
• Step 1: Configuring the Token Ring link.
Follow this step to add the IP/Internet address, alias, and, if this
Token Ring card is on a subnet, the subnet mask for your card, and
to configure the ring speed (Model 712) and advanced options such as
station address, MTU size, source routing, and the Internet
broadcast address. The procedure will automatically initialize the
Token Ring link and enable your node to connect to the Token Ring
network.
• Step 2: Configuring network connectivity.
Follow this step to add remote aliases and remote host IP/Internet
addresses for network connectivity, and also to specify default
gateway information.
• Step 3: Verifying the installation.
Follow this step to verify the installation.
Step 1: Configuring the Token Ring link
NOTE Make sure the Token Ring card and software are installed in the system
before you use SAM to configure the software.
Log in as root. Refer to the information on the Network Card
Configuration Worksheet as you do the following:
1. At the HP-UX prompt, type: sam
2. Double click Networking and Communications at the SAM main
window.
