Configuring Service Processor
Network Settings
This section describes how to list and configure the network settings for
service processor (GSP or MP) hardware. These settings are used for
connections to the service processor and are not used for HP-UX
networking.
Details on configuring service processor networking are given in the
procedure Service Processor (GSP or MP) on page 107.
The service processor utility hardware on HP Superdome servers has
two network connections: the customer LAN and private LAN. The
service processor on HP rp8400 and HP rp7410 servers do not have a
private LAN but have only customer LAN connections.
Features of service processor LANs are given in the following list.
• The customer LAN is the connection for login access to the service
processor menus, consoles, commands, and other features.
All HP nPartition servers have a customer LAN.
On HP Superdome servers, the customer LAN port is labeled
“Customer LAN”. On HP rp8400 servers it is “GSP LAN”. On HP
rp7410 servers it is the only LAN connection on each core I/O board.
• The private LAN is the connection to the Superdome service support
processor (SSP) workstation.
Only Superdome servers have a private LAN.
To configure service processor network settings, you can use the the
Command menu’s LC command.
To list the current service processor network configuration use the LS
command.
