Conﬁguring HP FDDI/9000

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. You can use SAM to do this automatically by

completing the following steps:

1. Log in as root.

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

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

window.

4. Double-click on Internet Addresses in the Networking and

Communications window.

SAM displays the remote system names and IP addresses that are

already conﬁgured.

5. Choose Add from the “Actions” menu to open the Add Internet

Connectivity window.

Use the SAM online help system for information about adding remote

system connections.

a. Enter the Internet Address for the remote system.

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

have entered a valid IP address. SAM also determines if a gateway is

required for the connection.

b. Enter the remote system name.

NOTE 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 for

remote systems.

d. Add, modify, or remove alias names for the remote system.

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

Internet Connectivity window.
