HP-UX SNAplus2 Release Notes (September 2004)

Chapter 1 5

Conﬁguring PCI Token Ring for SNA

You can use SAM to conﬁgure a PCI Token Ring adapter for use by SNA. When asked for an

IP address on the “Networking and Communications” screen, enter any IP address from the

private address space (for example, 192.168.0.1) or an address in the following range:

• 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255

• 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255

• 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255

In future releases of SNAplus2, SAM may eliminate the need for entering these dummy

addresses while conﬁguring the Token Ring card on the system.

If it is necessary to remove the IP address conﬁgured on the Token Ring card, edit the

/etc/rc.config.d/netconf ﬁle and comment out the section related to the lan interface

corresponding to the Token Ring adapter.

For example, if lan5 is the Token Ring adapter conﬁgured for SNA, edit the

/etc/rc.config.d/netconf ﬁle to comment out all entries related to lan5 as follows:

# IP_ADDRESS[5]=192.168.0.1

# SUBNET_MASK[5]=255.255.255.0

# INTERFACE_NAME[5]=lan5

# BROADCAST_ADDRESS[5]=192.168.0.255

# INTERFACE_STATE[5]=up

After this, login as root and execute the following command at the command line to ensure

that no IP address is conﬁgured on Token Ring adapter used for SNAplus2:

# /usr/sbin/ifconfig lan<n> unplumb

where lan<n> is the Token Ring interface.
