Installing and Administering OSI Transport Services

102 Chapter 4

Installing HP OTS/9000

HP software, including HP OTS/9000, is installed using the swinstall

program. If you’re installing software for the entire OSI stack, you

should have already installed and conﬁgured any link products (for

example, LAN or X.25) for your network. If the procedures to install the

link components have not been completed, please complete them before

proceeding with conﬁguration.

More installation information can be found in the individual link product

manuals. Be sure to follow and complete all installation procedures

before beginning HP OTS/9000 network node conﬁguration procedures.

If you are installing HP OTS/9000 over the LAN LINK product, verify

that the LAN product is LAN or conﬁgured to run with the IEEE protocol

enabled. To do this, look at the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf ﬁle. For

each LAN interface (lan0, lan1, etc.), the parameter

LANCONFIG_ARGS, deﬁned in that ﬁle, speciﬁes the protocol enabled.

For example, for LAN interface lan0, the following lines may be present:

INTERFACE_NAME[0]=lan0

IP_ADDRESS[0]=”12.34.456.789”

SUBNET_MASK[0]=”255.255.255.0”

BROADCAST_ADDRESS[0]=

LANCONFIG_ARGS[0]=”ether ieee”

For HP OTS/9000 to function over a particular interface, the

LANCONFIG_ARGS parameter should include “ieee” for that interface.
