HPUX : Configuring LAN Information for the MP

This section describes how to set and verify the server management processor (MP) LAN port

information. LAN information includes the MP network name, the MP IP address, the subnet mask,

and gateway address. This information is provided by the customer.

To set the MP LAN IP address:

1.    At the MP Main Menu prompt (MP>), enter cm.

2. From the MP Command Menu prompt (MP>CM:), enter lc (for LAN configuration).

The screen displays the default values and asks if you want to modify them. It is a good idea

to write down the information or log it to a file, because it may be required for future

troubleshooting.

Enter lc and press the Return key

 

 

3. NOTE: The value in the IP address field has been set at the factory. Obtain the LAN IP

address from the customer.

4. At the prompt, Do you want to modify the configuration for the customer

LAN?, enter Y.

The current IP address is shown; then the following prompt is displayed: Do you want to

modify it? (Y/[N])

5. Enter Y.

6. Enter the new IP address.

The customer provides this address for network interface 0.

7. Confirm the new address.

8. Enter the MP host name.

This is the host name for the customer LAN. The name can be up to 64 characters long and

can include alpha numerics, -dash (-), under score (_), period (.), or a space ( ). HP recommends

that the name be a derivative of the complex name, for example, Acme.com_MP.

9. Enter the LAN parameters for Subnet mask and Gateway address.

This information comes from the customer.

When this step is completed, the system will indicate that the parameters have been updated

and return to the MP Command Menu prompt (MP:CM>)

10. To check the LAN parameters and status, enter the ls command at the MP Command Menu

prompt (MP:CM>).
