PCI FDDI

System Administration Manager (SAM)

Chapter 1 35

This step will add the IP address and any alias names if the PCI

FDDI adapter card is on a subnetwork and the subnet mask for your

adapter card. This procedure will automatically initialize the PCI

FDDI link and attach your node to the local network (LAN).

3. Conﬁguring remote host names and addresses and gateway default

information for 10.20, 11.0 and 11i.

Steps 2 and 3 will add remote system names and remote system IP

addresses for network connectivity, and to specify default gateway

information.

NOTE Using SAM is the preferred method for PCI FDDI conﬁguration.

However, SAM currently does not support the domain name format. The

domain name format is used with the BIND name service provided with

Internet Services/9000. Using the BIND name service, the Network

Interface Card can be conﬁgured, but the remote connectivity cannot.

You may want to conﬁgure PCI FDDI manually. See the Installing and

Administering LAN/9000 manual for detailed instructions on how to

install and conﬁgure software manually. Refer to chapter 2 of this

manual for PCI FDDI-speciﬁc conﬁguration information.
