NonStop System Console Installer Guide

A Configuring the Second NIC for Operations LAN
Connectivity
In addition to the Network Interface Card (NIC) card used for connecting to the dedicated service
LAN, NonStop system consoles are equipped with a second NIC that can be used to connect to
a secure operations LAN for remote support services, as needed. Those services include:
• Remote notification (dial-out) services, using HP Insight Remote Support Advanced.
Refer to Insight Remote Support Advanced for NonStop, located in the HP Integrity NonStop
Service Information collection of NTL.
• Remote connection (dial-in) services, using Remote Desktop.
See “Remote Desktop and NetMeeting” (page 22)
When you assign an IP address to the second NIC on a system console that is running Windows
Server 2008 and being used as a DHCP server for the dedicated service LAN, that address is
automatically added to the list of available DHCP bindings. To ensure that the DHCP server on
that NSC operates only for the dedicated service LAN, you must remove the DHCP server binding
for that IP address from the DHCP configuration on that NSC.
NOTE: You must be a member of the Administrators group or have the appropriate
permissions.
TIP: If you perform this task for an NSC running Windows Server 2003, see ““Removing DHCP
Server Binding for the Second NIC on Windows Server 2003” (page 69)”.
To remove the DHCP server binding for the second NIC on a NonStop system console running
Windows Server 2008:
1. From the Start menu, select: Administrative Tools > DHCP.
2. In the left column, expand the name of the DHCP server you are altering:
3. Under that server name, expand, then right-click on IPv4 and select Properties:
