NOTE:

The GSP LAN port is separate 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 via LAN, perform the following steps:

NOTE:

The GSP must be on the same subnet as the system being used to remotely configure

the LAN port. If it is not, the remote configuration will be unsuccessful.

1.

Determine the MAC address of the revision B GSP by examining the GSP MAC address
label on the rear of the server.

2.

Use the route add command to add the I.P address of the GSP and remote system to the
router.

3.

Use the arp command to add an ARP entry for the IP address using the GSP MAC address.

For HP-UX systems, the format of the MAC address is 00:30:6e:05:0a:ea

For MS DOS systems, the format of the MAC address is 00-30-6e-05-0a-ea

4.

Use the ping command to assign the I.P address for the GSP.

5.

The revision B GSP is now accessible via LAN. Access the GSP and configure remaining
network parameters using the LAN Configuration (lc) command:

GSP> lc

The lc command will start a series of prompts. Respond to each prompt with the appropriate
information.
