Step 1. In the IP address ﬁeld, enter the internet protocol (IP) address for the

node being conﬁgured. An example of an address is:

C 192.191.191 009.

Step 2. The IP subnet mask is optional. If entering one, tab to the IP subnet

mask ﬁeld and enter the number in the same format as an IP address.

Step 3. The proxy node is optional. Enter Y only if your network has

internetworks (networks with gateways) or non-HP nodes and you are

not using domain name services.

Step 4. Move to the Link name ﬁeld. Enter a link name to represent the LAN

card for which you are conﬁguring a link. This name must be unique to

the node.

Step 5. Tab down to the ﬁeld called Physical path of LANIC. Enter the

physical path number corresponding to the SPU slot number where the

LAN interface controller card is located.
