The Network Interface Configuration screen (#112) in Figure 8-2 “Network Interface Configuration Screen” is displayed when you
press the [Go To NI] function key at the Network
Transport Configuration Selection screen (Figure 4-2 “Network Transport Configuration Selection
Screen”). 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 8-2 Network Interface Configuration Screen

Use the fields and the function keys of the select screen
to perform the desired action. To define a new token ring NI, specify
an NI name and NI type TOKEN; 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 only one active Token Ring NI per system. To modify an existing NI configuration, specify
the NI name; and 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 software loopback capability. Fields- Network interface name
Enter the network interface name for the token ring
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, FDDI, 100VG-AnyLAN, or 100Base-T)
(Required only when adding an NI.)
Enter TOKEN if you are configuring
a token ring 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.
