Configuring a LAN Node
Configure a LAN Network Interface
Proxy node Establishing a proxy node is a way of
placing node name and address
mapping information in a single
location. If you are configuring an
internetwork or a network with
non-HP nodes, it may be easier to
update your configurations if you have
them located in a central place, that is,
the proxy node. On an internetwork,
the proxy node is usually a gateway. (It
is not necessary to configure a proxy
node if you have configured domain
names. See Chapter 12 , “Configuring
Domain Name Files,” for information
on domain names.)
Link name The link name can have up to eight
alphanumeric characters and the first
character must be alphabetic.
Physical Path of LANIC The physical path number corresponds
to the slot location of a node’s local area
network interface controller (LANIC)
card. Recommended slot locations and
physical path calculations vary
according to the type of HP e3000
system you are running.
For the various platforms, physical
path syntax (examples only) look like:
If you are unsure of the slot location or
of the physical path number to
configure for your system, run the
offline ODE MAPPER utility, see your
system documentation, or consult your
Hewlett-Packard service
representative.
