Network Configuration Overview
Network Configuration Overview
Information required for network configuration on the host is contained
in one file. The name of this configuration file is NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS.
When building a new configuration file, it is not necessary to define
every field. This is because a sample configuration file is supplied with
the MPE/iX operating system. The sample configuration file is called
NMSAMP1.PUB.SYS. Hewlett-Packard recommends using the sample
file as a template for initial configuration.
CAUTION
Use the sample configuration file for first time configurations only.
Information previously configured using NMMGR, and stored in
NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS, will be overwritten when the sample file is copied
to NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS.
The NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS file can be modified using NMMGR. Only one
configuration file can be active at a time and the active file must be
called NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS. Accordingly, modified or new configuration
files must be copies to NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS before they can be used by
the system.
CAUTION
If ANY other configuration file is copied to NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS or
NMCONFIX.PUB.SYS then dynamic configuration will be disabled until
a DTS shutdown and restart is done or the system is rebooted. This
includes other files from the same system or files copied from other
systems.
