Initial Configuration for a Dedicated Service LAN
New systems are shipped with an initial set of IP addresses configured. For a listing of these
initial IP addresses, see “IP Addresses” (page 69).
Factory-default IP addresses for the Ethernet ports are available from your service provider (in
the Versatile I/O Manual.) IP addresses for SWAN concentrators are in the WAN Subsystem
Configuration and Management Manual.
HP recommends that you change these preconfigured IP addresses to addresses appropriate for
your LAN environment. You must change the preconfigured IP addresses on:
• A backup system console if you want to connect it to a dedicated service LAN that already
includes a primary system console or other system console
• Any system console if you want to connect it to a dedicated service LAN that already includes
a primary system console
Keep track of all the IP addresses in your system so that no IP address is assigned twice.
Operating Configurations for Dedicated Service LANs
You can configure the dedicated service LAN in several different ways, as described in the OSM
Migration and Configuration Guide. HP recommends that you use a fault-tolerant LAN configuration.
For a faster configuration option for the OSM Service Connection only, see the OSM Migration
and Configuration Guide.
System Consoles
New system consoles are preconfigured with the required HP and third-party software. When
upgrading to the latest RVU, you can install software upgrades from the HP NonStop System
Console Installer CD.
Some system console hardware, including the Windows Server system unit, monitor, and
keyboard, can be mounted in the cabinet. Other Windows Servers are installed outside the cabinet
and require separate provisions or furniture to hold the Windows Server hardware.
System consoles communicate with Integrity NonStop NS1200 servers over a dedicated service
local area network (LAN) or a secure operations LAN. A dedicated service LAN is required for
use of OSM Low-Level Link and Notification Director functionality, which includes configuring
primary and backup dial-out points (referred to as the primary and backup system consoles,
respectively). HP recommends that you also configure the backup dedicated service LAN with
a backup system console.
