Configuring a LAN Node
Configure a LAN Network Interface
Proxy node | Establishing a proxy node is a way of | |
| placing node name and address | |
| mapping information in a single | |
| location. If you are configuring an | |
| internetwork or a network with | |
| ||
| update your configurations if you have | |
| them located in a central place, that is, | |
| the proxy node. On an internetwork, | |
| the proxy node is usually a gateway. (It | |
| is not necessary to configure a proxy | |
| node if you have configured domain | |
| names. See Chapter 12 , “Configuring | |
| Domain Name Files,” for information | |
| on domain names.) |
|
Link name | The link name can have up to eight | |
| alphanumeric characters and the first | |
| character must be alphabetic. | |
Physical Path of LANIC | The physical path number corresponds | |
| to the slot location of a node’s local area | |
| network interface controller (LANIC) | |
| card. Recommended slot locations and | |
| physical path calculations vary | |
| according to the type of HP e3000 | |
| system you are running. | |
| For the various platforms, physical | |
| path syntax (examples only) look like: | |
| Series 9x7: | 48 |
| Series 9x8: | 56/44 |
| Series 9x9: | 10/4/16 |
| Series 99x: | 0/28/12 |
| Series N4000: | 1/10/0/0 |
| Series A500: | 0/2/0/0 |
If you are unsure of the slot location or of the physical path number to configure for your system, run the offline ODE MAPPER utility, see your system documentation, or consult your
