Your system may not be able to communicate with other systems,
for example, PCs, workstations, servers, etc., until you configure
system-to-system connections by adding an entry in hosts
for the remote system. You can use SAM to do this automatically
by completing the following steps: At the HP-UX prompt, type: sam Double click Networking and Communications
at the SAM main window. Double click Internet Addresses
to enable your system to communicate with other systems using the
TCP/IP protocol. SAM displays the remote system names and Internet addresses
that are already configured. Choose Add
from the "Actions" menu to open the Add Internet
Address window to add the internet address and system name of a
remote system. Use the SAM online help system for information about adding
remote system connections. Enter the Internet address for the remote system. Upon exiting the Internet Address
field, SAM checks to make sure you have entered a valid IP/Internet
address. SAM also determines if a gateway is required for the connection
(see step 4c). Enter the remote system name. Upon exiting the Remote System Name
field, SAM checks to make sure that connectivity has not already
been configured for this system. If it has, SAM displays an error
message. Optionally, choose Add Aliases
to open the Add Aliases window if you want to configure aliases
for a remote system. You can modify or remove alias names for a remote system on
this menu Activate the OK button to perform the
task and return to the Add Internet Addresses window. Proceed to step 5 if a gateway is not required for this remote
connection. SAM displays fields for entering gateway information if a
gateway is required for this remote system connection. Use the SAM
online help system for information about gateways.
Activate the OK button to
enable your system to communicate with this system and return to
the System-to-System Connectivity object list. SAM updates the object list to include the remote system you
configured. | | | |  | NOTE: You can modify or remove remote systems and modify default
gateways by highlighting the Remote System Name from the object
list and choosing Modify, Remove, or Modify Default Gateway from
the "Actions" menu. | | | | |
Choose Exit from the "File" menu. At the Networking Communications window, choose
Exit SAM from the "File"
menu to leave SAM. Verify remote system configuration. View the list of remote systems you can communicate with using
a symbolic name by typing the following command at the HP-UX prompt: more /etc/hosts View the configured destinations reached through
gateways and the gateways used to reach those destinations by typing
the following command at the HP-UX prompt: netstat -r
To verify that you can communicate with a remote system via
the 10/100Base-TX product, return to chapter 1, "Step 8:
Verify the Installation." |
