Configuring the GSP LAN Port via an ASCII console
The LAN port of the GSP allows connection via TelNet or http connections. Once the LAN
parameters are configured, the console may be accessed via a TelNet connection or via a web
browser (revision B GSP only). The default IP of the GSP LAN is 127.0.0.1.
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. Access 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.
Example 4-2 LC command
Leaving Console Mode - you may lose write access. When Console Mode returns, type ^Ecf to get console write
access.
GSP Host Name: fesrhapgsp
GSP> lc
LC This command allows you to modify the LAN configuration.
Current configuration:
MAC Address: 0x00306e050a63
IP Address: 15.8.133.185
GSP Host Name: fesrhapgsp
Subnet Mask: 255.255.248.0
Gateway: 15.8.128.1
Web Console Port Number: 2023
Do you want to modify the LAN configuration? (Y/[N])
GSP Host Name: fesrhapgsp
The revision B GSP introduces a configurable Web Console Port Number parameter. The default
value is 2023. Once the GSP LAN is configured, it is accessible via either TelNet or web
connections.
Configuring the GSP LAN Port via LAN
The revision B GSP LAN port can be assigned an IP address without using the LAN Configuration
(lc) command via an ASCII console. This section describes how to assign the IP address allowing
web access. Once web access is accomplished, use the lc command to configure remaining network
parameters.
