Configuring a LAN Node
Configure a LAN Network Interface
Step 6. Tab down to the field called Physical path of LANIC. Enter the physical path number corresponding to the SPU slot number where the LAN interface controller card is located.
Step 7. Tab down to the field called Enable Ethernet (Y/N). By default, ethernet is enabled. Change the field to N if you do not want ethernet and the ARP protocol enabled.
Step 8. Tab down to field called Enable IEEE 802.3 (Y/N). By default, IEEE 802.3 is enabled. Change the field to N if you do not want IEEE 802.3 and the Probe protocol enabled.
Step 9. Press the [Save Data] key to save the LAN link configuration. If you need to identify neighbor gateways, press the [Neighbor Gateways] key and proceed to the section in this chapter called “To Identify Neighbor Gateways.” Otherwise, proceed to Chapter 10 , “Validating and

| Press the [List NIs] key to list the names and types of |
| already configured network interfaces. |
| Press the [Delete NI] key to remove a configured network |
| interface from the configuration file. |
| Press the [Read Other NI] key to call up a previously |
| configured Network Interface name. |

| IP address |
| The IP address is an address of a node on a network. An |
| IP address has two parts: a network portion and a node |
| portion. The network portion must be the same for all |
| nodes on a LAN network; the node portion must be |
| unique for all nodes on a LAN network. |
| There are two methods of entering an internet protocol (IP) address |
| within NMMGR: |
| 1. Enter the fully qualified IP address (for example, Class C, |
| C 192.191.191 009). |
| OR |
| 2. Enter only the network (nnn) and node (xxx) portions of the IP |
| address as four positive integers between 0 and 255 separated by |
| periods or blanks (for example, 15.123.44.98). |
