host system. Before you can proceed beyond the Main conﬁguration

screen you will need to enter a valid local node name, answer the

questions asked on the screen, and press the

[Save Data] key.

Fields local node name

The local node name is the name by which the

HP e3000 machine is known in the network. The

format of a node name is name.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 name portion of each node name must be unique

within the node’s network. The name.domain portion of

each node name must be unique within the

internetwork. HP recommends that all nodes on the

same network be assigned the same domain and

organization.
