The Network Interface Configuration screen (#112) in Figure 5-2 “Network Interface Configuraiton Screen” is displayed when you
press the [Go To NI] function key at the Network
Transport Configuration Selection screen (Figure 4-1 “Network Transport configuration Screen
Flow”). It is also displayed when you type the
path name: @NETXPORT.NI in the command window of any screen and press the [Enter]
key. Figure 5-2 Network Interface Configuraiton Screen

Use the fields and the function keys of the select screen
to perform the desired action: To define a new LAN NI, specify the
NI name and NI type LAN; then press
the [Add] function key. The path for the selected
NI name is added to the configuration file and the data screen on
that path is displayed. You can have a maximum of 12
NI's per system (one NI must be used for loopback). However, HP
supports up to two active LAN NI's per system. To modify an existing NI configuration, specify
the NI name; then press the [Modify] function key.
The data screen on the path for the specified NI name is displayed. To change the name of an existing NI configuration,
specify the NI name and a new name; then press the [Rename]
function key. The previously configured NI name is replaced and
the screen displays the new name in a display field under the label
Configured Network Interfaces. To delete an existing NI configuration, specify
the NI name; then press the [Delete] function key.
Press the [Delete] function key again to confirm
the deletion. The previously configured NI name (and the associated
data) is deleted and is no longer displayed in a display field under
the label Configured Network Interfaces.
The network interface is responsible for providing the interface
between network transport protocols and link protocols. It also
provides the software loopback capability. Fields- Network interface name
Enter the network interface name for the LAN interface.
The network interface name can contain as many as eight alphanumeric
characters; the first character must be alphabetic. - Type (GATEHALF, LAN, LOOP, ROUTER, X.25, SNA, TOKEN, 100VG-AnyLAN,100Base-T, or FDDI)
(Required only when adding an NI.) Enter LAN
if you are configuring a local area network. - New name
(Required only when renaming an NI.) Enter a new
NI name. The new name can contain as many as eight alphanumeric
characters, and the first character must be alphabetic. You need
to specify a new name only when renaming an existing NI.
