PCI Token Ring Administrator's Guide

Token Ring Resources
Manual Installation and Configuration
Chapter 366
This example assumes the NMID of the Token Ring link is 5 (use
lanscan(1M) to find the NMID). lanadmin(1M) sets the station
address and the MTU size (if different from the default). ifconfig(1M)
configures the IP address and masks.
7. Refer to the Installing and Administering LAN/9000 Software
manual for the edits required to /etc/hosts, /etc/services,
/etc/networks, and /etc/protocols.
Manual Configuration for PCI Systems
At this point, it is assumed that you have already installed the PCI
Token Ring board into the backplane of your system. If this has not yet
been done, please refer to the appropriate section of Chapter 1 for
instructions about doing this before continuing with this section.
1. If you have A5783A hardware, install A5783A or TokenRing-00
software bundle. If you have A4930A hardware, install A4930A or
TokenRing-00 software bundle. If you have both, install both
software bundles.
2. Execute lanscan(1M) to determine the PPA numbers of the Token
Ring interfaces.
3. If a PCI Token Ring interface has not been configured, lanscan will
show its MAC address as all zeroes. This is ok.
4. Determine which interfaces you want enabled.
Important!
Starting with B.11.00.02, you may choose to configure the card and
IP manually or by using SAM. It is recommended that once a method
has been chosen, that method be followed whenever new PCI Token
Ring cards are configured or existing cards are reconfigured on the
system.
For 10.20 and 11.0, a patch is required prior to using SAM. See the
current Release Notes for patch information.
NOTE 100 Mb/s operation is supported on B.10.20.00 or later and B.11.00.04 or
later and when the requirements shown below are met.
