What’s in This Document
This manual provides information for installing and administering the HP-UX LAN product.
The HP-UX LAN product allows HP computers to connect to an IEEE 802.3 or Ethernet Local
Area Network. An HP-UX LAN network can be further extended via bridges and routers into
a Wide Area Network.
This manual also includes some information that may be useful for configuring other HP-UX
link products, such as 10/100Base-T PCI. Specifically, this information includes:
• Manual configuration of links
• Network addressing
• LAN device and interface terminology
The information in this manual is intended for network managers or operators who install
and administer HP-UX LAN on TCP/IP networks. It is assumed the reader is experienced
with HP-UX and is familiar with the basics of local and wide area networking.
The manual is organized as follows:
Chapter 1 Installing HP-UX LAN describes how to install HP-UX LAN software.
Chapter 2 Configuring HP-UX LAN Using SAM describes the steps to configure
HP-UX LAN software automatically using the System Administration
Manager (SAM).
Chapter 3 Manually Installing and Configuring HP-UX LAN describes the steps
to build the kernel, create device files, and manually configure HP-UX LAN
using the vi editor.
