Verify Installation and Update LAN Conﬁguration

Enabling Ethernet Support

Before updating the conﬁguration ﬁle, obtain the conﬁgured name of

the LAN NI, and the local node name. In addition, make sure you have

a loopback NI of type LOOP conﬁgured.

From within the NMMGR program, you can check what the conﬁgured

NIs are. After you have opened the NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS ﬁle, enter the

direct path @NETXPORT.NI. The Network Interface Conﬁguration

screen is displayed. Under the heading Conﬁgured Network Interfaces,

verify that an NI of type LAN and an NI of type LOOP have been

conﬁgured.

Before updating the conﬁguration ﬁle, shut down the transport (and the

Network Services if installed). Issue an NSCONTROL STOP followed by

an NSCONTROL ABORT for the Network Services, and NETCONTROL

STOP for the transport.
