	administration, which you can perform using any of the tools described
	in this section. For most purposes, the Motif administration program is

	configuration and management.
	SNAplus2 includes the following administration tools:
	• Motif administration program (see “Motif Administration Program”).
	• Command-line administration program (see “Command-Line
	Administration Program”, or refer to the HP-UX SNAplus2
	Administration Command Reference).
	• Service-point command facility (see “Remote Command Facility”).
	• Configuration files (see “Configuration Files”).
	• Diagnostic tools (see “Diagnostic Tools”).
	• Simple Network Management Protocol (see “Simple Network
	Management Protocol Support”).
	All of the SNAplus2 administration tools use the NOF API. You can also
	use that API to write your own administration tools. For more
	information, see “NOF Applications”.
	Motif Administration Program
	The easiest way to define and modify the SNAplus2 configuration is to
	use the Motif administration program (xsnapadmin). This program
	provides a graphical user interface from which you can view and manage
	SNAplus2 resources.
	The following management operations are available:
	• Defining SNAplus2 resources
	• Starting and stopping a node and its connectivity resources
	• Changing the configuration of defined resources
