NS3000/iX NMMGR Screens Reference Manual - Edition 8 (36922-90038)

Preface

This manual documents functionality for the MPE/iX 6.0 release, as

well as later releases for HP 3000 Series 900 systems.

This reference manual assumes that you are familiar with your

network topology.

NMMGR is an interface used to conﬁgure Local Area Networks (LANs),

point-to-point (router) networks, token ring networks, FDDI,

100VG-AnyLAN, 100Base-T, and X.25 networks. The NMMGR screens

described in this manual are accompanied by parameter descriptions

that give you ideas on which values are appropriate for your network.

Ultimately it is up to you to decide which values to supply depending on

how the network is used and maintained.

Special Note

MPE/iX, Multiprogramming Executive with Integrated POSIX, is the

latest in a series of forward-compatible operating systems for the

HP 3000 line of computers.

In HP documentation and in talking with HP 3000 users, you will

encounter references to MPE XL, the direct predecessor of MPE/iX.

MPE/iX is a superset of MPE XL. All programs written for MPE XL will

run without change under MPE/iX. You can continue to use MPE XL

system documentation, although it may not refer to features added to

the operating system to support POSIX (for example, hierarchical

directories).

Finally, you may encounter references to MPE V, which is the operating

system for HP 3000s, not based on the PA-RISC architecture. MPE V

software can be run on the PA-RISC HP 3000s (Series 900) in what is

known as compatibility mode.

Helpful Manuals

This manual is intended as a reference for those who need detailed

information about NS 3000/iX conﬁguration screens and their ﬁelds.

Not all parts of the NMMGR screens set are described in this manual.

The following paragraphs describe where to ﬁnd information about

other aspects of NMMGR and network conﬁguration.

The planning you should do before attempting to conﬁgure a network is

discussed in the HP 3000/iX Network Planning and Conﬁguration

Guide.
