Selecting a Configuration Path
Unguided Configuration
If you press the key labeled
[Unguided Config] at the NS Configuration
screen (#166), you will be taken to the Unguided Configuration screen
shown in Figure 3-6.
Figure 3-6 Unguided Configuration Screen
From this screen, you can move to the screens that let you:
• Configure or modify a network interface.
• Configure or modify an NS link.
• Configure or modify logging parameters.
• Configure or modify a network interface.
If you choose to create or modify an NS configuration using unguided
(manual) configuration, you must take care that you know which
screens you need to use to completely create or modify a configuration.
The unguided nature of manual configuration makes it possible to get
“lost” or to miss some necessary screens entirely.
Under most circumstances, HP recommends that you use guided
configuration. Unguided configuration can be useful, however, if you
only need to use a few screens and you know exactly which screens you
need.
Refer to the NS 3000/iX Screens Reference Manual for information on
the unguided NS configuration screens.
