SYNOPSIS
ncweb [-F][-b
]
ncweb -t
DESCRIPTION
The Network Interfaces Configuration and Network Services Configuration (
ncweb) tools are system
management tools that manage a system by configuring network interfaces and network services on HP-UX
installed systems. These tools provide both Web-based user interface (GUI) and terminal user interface
(TUI).
The
ncweb command can launch both the terminal user interface (TUI) and the Web-based interface (GUI)
of the Network Interfaces Configuration and Network Services Configuration tools. In the case of TUI, the
ncweb command launches the Networking and Communications window, from where the user (superuser)
can select Network Interfaces Configuration or Network Services Configuration. In the case of GUI, the
ncweb command launches the Tools page of HP SMH, from where the user (superuser) can select Network
Interfaces Configuration or Network Services Configuration.
You must have superuser privileges to access the Network Interfaces Configuration and the Network Ser-
vices Configuration tools.
With the Network Interfaces Configuration tool, you can configure the following network interfaces:
• Auto Port Aggregation (APA)
• Network Interface Cards (NIC)
• Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA)
• Virtual LAN (VLAN)
Note: APA and VLAN network interfaces are displayed only if the products are installed on the HP-UX
system.
With the Network Services Configuration tool, you can configure the following network services:
• Bootable Devices
• DHCPv6
• DNS (BIND)
• Hosts
• NIS
• Name Service Switch
• Network Services
• Networked File Systems
• Routes
• System Access
• Time
When you run ncweb, it attempts to connect to a Mozilla Web browser running on the X server defined by
the DISPLAY environment variable. If ncweb finds a running Mozilla client, it uses that client. Other-
wise, ncweb initiates a new Mozilla session. The new session is initiated only if the Mozilla process is run-
ning in the same system as that referenced by the DISPLAY variable, unless the -F option is used.
Note: By default, ncweb invokes the Mozilla Web browser. To support any other browser (for example,
Netscape), set the BROWSER environment variable as shown below:
export BROWSER=/opt/netscape/netscape
The ncweb command opens the terminal user interface if any of the following conditions are true:
• The command /usr/sbin/ncweb is invoked with the -t option.
• The DISPLAY environment variable is not set.
The ncweb command opens the Web-based interface if all the following conditions are true:
• The command /usr/sbin/ncweb is invoked with -F option.
• The DISPLAY environment variable is set.
• The command /opt/hpsmh/lbin/samweb is available on the system.
