Conﬁguring Network Connectivity Using SAM

Step 1: Conﬁguring Network ConnectivityStep 1: Conﬁguring Network Connectivity

Your system may not be able to communicate with other systems, for example, PCs, workstations, servers, etc., until you conﬁgure system-to-system connections by adding an entry in hosts for the remote system. You can use SAM to do this automatically by completing the following steps:

1.At the HP-UX prompt, type: sam

2.Double click Networking and Communications at the SAM main window.

3.Double click Internet Addresses to enable your system to communicate with other systems using the TCP/IP protocol.

SAM displays the remote system names and Internet addresses that are already conﬁgured.

4.Choose Add from the “Actions” menu to open the Add Internet Address window to add the internet address and system name of a remote system.

Use the SAM online help system for information about adding remote system connections.

a.Enter the Internet address for the remote system.

Upon exiting the Internet Address ﬁeld, SAM checks to make sure you have entered a valid IP/Internet address. SAM also determines if a gateway is required for the connection (see step 4c).

b.Enter the remote system name.

Upon exiting the Remote System Name ﬁeld, SAM checks to make sure that connectivity has not already been conﬁgured for this system. If it has, SAM displays an error message.

c.Optionally, choose Add Aliases to open the Add Aliases window if you want to conﬁgure aliases for a remote system.

You can modify or remove alias names for a remote system on this menu

Activate the OK button to perform the task and return to the Add
