Configuring the Guardian Service Processor (GSP)
The Guardian Service Processor (GSP) is a resident processor within the system that allows the local or
remote system administrator to monitor and perform administrator functions. This section provides
configuration procedures that will instruct you to:

Change the default GSP configuration
Go to the appropriate section for the task that you wish to accomplish.
Configuring the GSP LAN Port
Perform the LAN configuration from the systems local port (either console or the HP secure web console).
NOTE The GSP has a separate LAN port from the system LAN port. It will need a separate LAN drop,
IP address, and networking information from the port used by HP-UX.
Before starting this procedure, you will need to know the following information:
I.P. address (for GSP)
Subnet mask
Gateway address
Hostname (this is used when messages are logged or printed)
To configure the GSP LAN port, perform the following steps:
1. Go into the GSP with the ctrl+b entry.
2. At the GSP prompt, enter the LAN Configuration (lc) command:
GSP> lc
The lc command will start a series of prompts. Respond to each prompt with the appropriate information.
