Conﬁguring HP FDDI/9000

Conﬁguring the Local FDDI Adapter

NOTE Make sure the HP FDDI/9000 card and driver are installed in the system

before you use SAM to conﬁgure the software. If you’ve updated existing

Fibre Channel software to the latest version, skip this step and go to

“Verifying the Installation.”

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

2. Double-click on Networking and Communications in the SAM main

window.

3. Double-click Network Card Conﬁguration in the Networking and

Communications window.

4. Highlight the FDDI card that you want to conﬁgure from the object

list.

5. Verify that the hardware path is correct for your FDDI card.

Series 800: The hardware path of an HP-PB FDDI card should equal

4 times the hardware module number in which the card has been

installed. For example, if the hardware path is 32, then the HP-PB

FDDI card should be in hardware module 8.

6. Choose Conﬁgure from the “Actions” menu to open the Conﬁgure LAN

Card window.

a. Enter the information about the FDDI card. To do so, press the

Tab key to move through the data entry ﬁelds.

NOTE SAM displays the Card Name, Hardware (H/W) Path, and Station

Address ﬁelds with the appropriate values. These ﬁelds cannot be

modiﬁed.

b. Choose FDDI as the interface type for your FDDI card. The default

is IEEE802.3/Ethernet.

c. Enter the Internet address for your FDDI card.

Upon exiting the Internet Address ﬁeld, SAM checks to make sure

that the IP address you entered is correctly formatted and is not

currently in use.
