Preface
This manual provides information for installing and administering the LAN/9000
product. The LAN/9000 product allows HP 9000 computers to connect to an IEEE
802.3 or Ethernet Local Area Network.
The information in this manual is intended for network managers or operators who
install and administer LAN/9000. It is assumed the reader is experienced with
HP-UX and is familiar with the basics of local and wide area networking.
The manual is organized as follows:
Chapter 1 "Installing LAN/9000" describes how to install LAN/9000
software.
Chapter 2 "Configuring LAN/9000 Using SAM" describes the steps to
configure LAN/9000 software automatically using the
System Administration Manager (SAM).
Chapter 3 "Troubleshooting LAN/9000" provides flowcharts to help
diagnose LAN/9000 software and hardware problems.
Chapter 4 "Manually Installing and Configuring LAN/9000" describes
the steps to build the kernel, create device files, and
manually configure LAN/9000 using the vi editor.
Chapter 5 "Configuration Commands" provides description of the
eisa _config(lM), ifconfig(lM), lanconfig(lM) and route(lM)
commands.
Chapter 6 "Network Diagnostic Commands" provides descriptions of
useful diagnostic utilities. Use these command descriptions
as reference information when you are following the
troubleshooting procedures in chapter 3.
Chapter 7 "Logging and Tracing Commands" describes the commands
that activate the comr,non logging and tracing tool, nettl.
3
Chapter 8 "Product Description" describes product structure and
relates software components to the Open Systems
Interconnect (OSI) Reference Model.
Chapter 9 "Network Addressing" defines networking terms and
explains network interface name and unit, network
addresses, and names and subnets.
Chapter 10 "LAN Device and Interface Terminology" defines terms
used by the I/O system to identify LAN adapters and device
files.
Appendix A "Installation Error Messages" lists error messages related to
loading and configuring LAN/9000 software.
AppendixB "Diagnostic Error Messages" lists error messages returned
by diagnostic utilities.
Appendix C "Network Event Logging Messages" lists network event
logging messages returned by LAN/9000.
AppendixD "LAN Interface Adapter Statistics" describes LAN adapter
status values and statistics returned by landiag(lM).
AppendixE "LAN Interface Adapter Self-test Codes" lists error codes
returned by a "failed" landiag(lM) interface test.
AppendixF "LAN Filesets" describes the contents of each LAN fileset
and the S800 include statements and S300/S700 keywords
required for generating a new kernel.
Appendix G "Network Daemons and Library Routines" provides a quick
reference list of the daemons and library routines provided
and used by the LAN/9000 product.
AppendixH "Reconfiguring the S700 Kernel (Standalone)" provides a
complete list of the steps required to reconfigure the S700
kernel (standalone).
Appendix I "Reconfiguring the S300/S400 Kernel (Standalone)"
provides a complete list of the steps required to reconfigure
the S300/400 kernel (standalone).
4
AppendixJ "Reconfiguring the S800 Kernel (Standalone)" provides a
complete list of the steps required to reconfigure the S800
kernel (standalone).
AppendixK "Logging and Tracing Subsystems" lists the LAN/9000
logging and tracing subsystems used with the nettl utility.
AppendixL "Sample netlinkrc File" provides an example letclnetlinkrc
file.
AppendixM "Related Manuals, Protocols, and Standards" provides lists
of related networking and system documentation along with
lists of the protocols and standards on which the
LAN/ARPA products are based.

Installing LAN/9000
Note If you have a system with LAN/9000 preinstalled on it, you may skip this
chapter and go directly to chapter 2. Execute the command,
/ete/l ansean, to determine if the LAN/9000 software and hardware
have been pre-installed.
If, in addition, you have a preconfigured system, you may also skip chapter
2, "Configuring LAN Using SAM." The Series 700 Core I/O system
contains a pregenerated and preconfigured kernel, a /usr/lib/uxbootlf file
and a copyright file. The kernel is pregenerated with all the proper
drivers, including the LAN driver.
This chapter describes the procedures to load LAN/9000 software and to install LAN
hardware onto your system. It contains the following sections:
