17 1 Network Configuration Overview This manual provides step-by-step instructions you can use to configure an HP e3000 node for network communications . Y ou can use the information to configure an IEEE 802.3/Ethernet, T oken Ring, FDDI, 100VG-AnyLAN , 100Base-T , P oint-to-P oint (router), or X.
18 Chapter 1 Network Configuration Overview Pre-Configuration Hard ware Check Pre-Configuration Hardware Check Before beginning the actual configuration process , check that the hardware component.
Chapter 1 19 Network Configuration Overview Pre-Configuration Software Check Pre-Configuration Software Check Once you have verified that your hardw are has been correctly installed, verify that the appropriate software is installed by performing the following steps: 1.
20 Chapter 1 Network Configuration Overview Configuration Process Overview Configuration Process Overview The instructions in this guide explain how to configure each node on your network by using a “guided” branch of Hewlett-P ackard’s NMMGR configuration program.
21 2 Networking Concepts Planning a network or internetwork (collection of networks) is an important process that must be done with care to ensure that the network meets the needs of your organization.
22 Chapter 2 Networking Concepts Network En vironment Design Considerations Network Environment Design Considerations Network and internetwork design must take many factors into consideration: the des.
Chapter 2 23 Networking Concepts Network En vironment Design Considerations use a P oint-to-Point network if the distance between some nodes on the network will be greater than the maximum distance allowed between nodes on a LAN . Bridges , hubs and routers are commonly implemented to extend LANs .
24 Chapter 2 Networking Concepts Network En vironment Design Considerations The maximum number of concurrent processes may limit the number of remote logons before the maximum number of dynamic I/O devices does . Dynamic Ldevs This is actually a system parameter that can be configured to 999 in SYSGEN .
Chapter 2 25 Networking Concepts Network Interface and Link T ypes Network Interface and Link Types The network interface (NI), the software that provides an interface between a node and a network, specifies the type and maximum number of links that can be configured for a node.
26 Chapter 2 Networking Concepts Network Interface and Link T ypes • An FDDI interface can have only one link configured under it; however , a single link can reach a large number of nodes . FDDI/iX Network Link can support up to 1000 nodes . Up to four FDDI NIs can be active at a time per system .
Chapter 2 27 Networking Concepts Subnetworks Subnetworks IP Subnets are used to divide one network into two or more distinct subnetworks . Subnet numbers identify subnetworks in the same way that network addresses identify physically distinct networks .
28 Chapter 2 Networking Concepts Subnetworks The following rules apply when choosing a subnet mask and an IP address: • Although any bits in the node address can be used as the subnet mask, Hewlett-P ackard recommends aligning the subnet mask along byte boundaries , adjacent to the network number .
Chapter 2 29 Networking Concepts Subnetworks Figure 2-2 Class C Address with Subnet Number Now , refer again to example 1. The subnet mask must indicate that three bits of the node portion of the IP address will be used for the subnet identifier . The subnet mask turns on (sets to 1) all the relevant bits for its subnet scheme .
30 Chapter 2 Networking Concepts Subnetworks By looking at the binary values of two IP addresses , it is easy to tell if nodes belong to the same subnet. If they do, all the bits that make up the subnet mask will be the same between IP addresses in the subnet.
Chapter 2 31 Networking Concepts Internetworks Internetworks Two or more networks of the same type or of different types can be linked together to form an internetwork or internet.
32 Chapter 2 Networking Concepts Internetworks Gateway Configuration Overview Gatewa y configuration includes both identifying neighbor gatewa ys in each node’ s configuration file and configuring gatewa y half NIs for nodes that will serve as one half of a gatewa y half pair .
Chapter 2 33 Networking Concepts Internetworks • Example 4 : One of the gatewa ys on your internetwork may be designated as a default gatewa y , such as node C in Figure 2-3. A default gatewa y is a gatewa y that is designated to receive any traffic for which the network is unable to identify a destination.
34 Chapter 2 Networking Concepts Internetworks Gatewa y halves require the configuration of two separate network interfaces on each node: one for the gatew ay half , the other for the network it interfaces to (for example, a LAN or P oint-to-P oint NI).
Chapter 2 35 Networking Concepts Address Resolution Address Resolution Address resolution in NS networks refers to the mapping of node names to IP addresses and the mapping of IP addresses to lower level addresses (such as an X.25 address or a station address).
36 Chapter 2 Networking Concepts Address Resolution Network Directory The network directory is a set of files that contain information used by the node to communicate with other nodes in the internetwork. Y ou use NMMGR to perform the following network directory functions: • Add, modify , and delete entries in the directory .
Chapter 2 37 Networking Concepts Address Resolution The centralized theory requires each node on the internet to have the same network directory . This means that every node in the network must have an entry in the network directory . The advantage to this is that you update the network directory in one place, then copy it to the rest of the world.
38 Chapter 2 Networking Concepts Address Resolution Probe and Probe Proxy NS 3000 LAN , 100VG-AnyLAN , and 100Base-T NIs with the IEEE 802.3 protocol enabled are able to make use of a proprietary HP protocol called probe . Probe makes it possible for nodes on an NS IEEE 802.
Chapter 2 39 Networking Concepts Network Design Questions Network Design Questions Ask yourself the following questions to make sure your design adheres to the considerations mentioned above: 1.
40 Chapter 2 Networking Concepts Network Design Questions • T o connect two networks that run on different protocol stacks , a gatewa y is needed. A gatewa y does conversion between the two protocols at every layer until the application layer .
Chapter 2 41 Networking Concepts Software Configuration Maximums Software Configuration Maximums The software maximums as shown in T able 2-2, must be adhered to when configuring a supported link. These maximums may be further limited by the system hardware (number of a vailable slots).
42 Chapter 2 Networking Concepts Software Configuration Maximums.
