Configuring a LAN Node
Configure a Token Ring Network Interface
NETCONTROL NET=NIname;STATUS
One of the lines of output from this command tells you what the complete IP address is for that node; the last three digits are the unique node portion of the class C address.
IP subnet mask
| An IP subnet mask is specified in the same format as | |
| an IP address. The | |
| expressed as decimal integers and delimited by either a | |
| period (.) or a space. An IP mask is used when | |
| configuring subnetworks. The mask identifies which | |
| bits of the IP address comprise the network and | |
| subnetwork portion. |

|
| Physical path of device adapter | |
| The physical path number corresponds to the slot | |
| location of a node’s device adapter. Recommended slot | |
| locations and physical path calculations vary according | |
| to the type of HP e3000 system you are running. | |
| If you are unsure of the slot location or of the physical | |
| path number to configure for your system, see your | |
| system documentation or consult your | |
| service representative. | |
| 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 |
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
