Managing Networks with DTCCNTRL
Automatic Configuration of DTCs
Automatic Configuration of DTCs
Automatic configuration provides the capability to add, and configure a
new host-based managed DTC to the HP 3000 system without the need
to specify most of the detailed configuration information. You can
initiate automatic configuration using the DTCCNTRL command at the
CI prompt, or from within NMMGR. This section describes how to start
automatic configuration at the CI prompt.
When the new DTC is configured, all serial cards will be configured
with nailed direct connect ldevs using the profile TR10AUTO. You may
modify this profile to suit your needs. The profile TR10AUTO that is
provided has the same characteristics as TR10D96.
SNP cards will be configured with a default configuration. This
configuration is not complete. You must use NMMGR to enter data for
the Level 1 and 2 screen and the Level 3 screen. No PAD ldevs are
created.
On the Level 1 and 2 screen you must enter the line speed for the
connection. On the Level 3 screen you must enter the X.25 card
address, Maximum number of PAD connections, and the Low and High
values for the PVCs or SVCs. See sections “Step 9: Configure X.25 Level
1 and 2” and “Step 10: Configure X.25 Level 3 and Miscellaneous” in
Chapter 3, “Configuring DTCs Step-by-Step,” for details on these fields.
Follow these steps to automatically add a DTC to DTS:
1. Turn on the DTCs power.
2. Invoke DTCCNTRL at the CI prompt with the following command:
:DTCCNTRL FUNC=autoconf
3. The following prompt will appear:
****Make sure your DTC is turned on NOW****
Enter the DTC LAN address in the format of xx-xx-xx-
xx-xx-xx or press RETURN to exit:
First, make sure that the DTC’s power has been turned on. Then,
enter the LAN address of the DTC to be configured. The LAN
address can be found on a label inside the front cover or on the back
panel of the actual DTC box. Note that the LAN address is different
from the IP address which is discussed in step 5.
4. DTCCNTRL will create a default DTC node name structured as
DTCXXXX.domain.organization, where “XXXX” are the last four
digits of the DTC’s LAN address and “domain.organization” are
taken from the host’s node name.
