Conﬁguring Token Ring

Conﬁguration Using SAM

Chapter 244

Step 2a: Conﬁguring network connectivity on systems running

HP-UX version 10.20 and earlier

Your system may not be able to communicate with other systems (for

example, PCs, workstations, and servers) until you conﬁgure

system-to-system connections by adding an entry in /etc/hosts for the

remote system. You can use SAM to do this by completing the following

steps:

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

2. Double click Networking and Communications at the SAM main

window.

3. Double click Internet Addresses to conﬁgure your system to

communicate with other systems using the TCP/IP protocol.

SAM displays the remote system names and Internet addresses that

are already conﬁgured.

4. Choose Add from the “Actions” menu to open the Add Internet

Address window to add the internet address and system name of a

remote system.

Use the SAM on-line help system for information about adding

remote system connections.

a. Enter the Internet address for the remote system.

Upon exiting the Internet Address ﬁeld, SAM checks to make

sure you have entered a valid IP/Internet address. SAM also

determines if a gateway is required for the connection. If a

gateway is required, SAM displays ﬁelds for entering gateway

information for this remote system connection. Use the SAM

on-line help system for information about gateways.

b. Enter the remote system name.

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.

c. Optionally, choose Add Aliases to open the Add Aliases window

if you want to conﬁgure aliases for a remote system.

You can modify or remove alias names for a remote system on

this menu.
