Configuring Network Connectivity Using SAM
Step 1: Configuring Network Connectivity
Step 1: Configuring Network Connectivity
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:
1. At the HP-UX prompt, type: sam
2. Double click Networking and Communications at the SAM main
window.
3. 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.
4. 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.
a. 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).
b. 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.
c. 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
