Getting Started

Name your NETServer. Among other things, this name will be used for the NETServer’s DNS system name and its SNMP system name. It is also the name that the NETServer will advertise in SAP broadcasts. No other device on your network should be using this name. Use the following command:

set sysname <name (up to 32 characters)>

Enter

The next thing you need to do is get your NETServer talking to the network attached to its LAN port. This section below titled Getting the LAN port up and running contains the minimum configuration needed to allow the NETServer to talk to your Ethernet or Token Ring LAN. Keep in mind that these may not be the only parameters you’ll want or need to set—just the ones you must set. A complete listing of LAN port parameters can be found in Chapter 10.

Once you have configured the NIC interfaces, we recommend that you proceed to global configuration. The parts of this that most administrators will want to do right away can be found later in this chapter under Recommended Global Configuration. A more complete listing of global parameters can be found in Chapter 10.
