Fields Local HP 3000
node name The local HP 3000 node name is the name by which the
HP 3000 Series 900 computer is known in the network.
The format of a node name is
nodename.domain.organization where the total
number of characters is 50 or fewer, and each field
contains 16 or fewer characters (alphanumeric,
underscore, or hyphens). The first character of each
field must be alphabetic.
The nodename portion of each node name must be
unique within the node's network. The
nodename.domain portion of each node name must be
unique within the internetwork. HP recommends that
all nodes on the network be assigned the same domain
and organization.
Assign meaningful node names. For example,
MKTG.ITG.HP and LAB.ITG.HP are meaningful names
for two nodes on the same Local Area Network (LAN)
within Hewlett Packard. One node (MKTG.ITG.HP) is
used by the marketing department. The other node
(LAB.ITG.HP) is used by the lab. The domain field is
the same because the nodes belong to the same
network. The organization field is the same because the
nodes belong to the same internetwork.

host-based network management and takes you to the
set of screens required for host configuration. If you are
using this manual, you should enter an N in response to
this question. (If you are using a PC to manage your
network, see Configuring Systems for Terminals,
Printers, and Other Serial Devices for the correct
configuration procedures.)
Do you have
X.25 system-to-

connections? If you answer yes (Y) to this question, NMMGR
assumes you are configuring X.25 connections and
