SYNOPSISDESCRIPTION
The Network Interfaces Configuration and Network Services Configuration
tools are system management tools that manage a system by configuring
network interfaces and network services on HP-UX installed systems.
These tools provide both Web-based user interface (GUI) and terminal
user interface (TUI).
The command can launch both the terminal user interface (TUI) and the
Web-based interface (GUI) of the Network Interfaces Configuration and
Network Services Configuration tools. In the case of TUI, the command
launches the Networking and Communications window, from where the user
(superuser) can select Network Interfaces Configuration or Network Ser‐
vices Configuration. In the case of GUI, the command launches the
Tools page of HP SMH, from where the user (superuser) can select Net‐
work Interfaces Configuration or Network Services Configuration.
You must have superuser privileges to access the Network Interfaces
Configuration and the Network Services Configuration tools.
With the Network Interfaces Configuration tool, you can configure the
following network interfaces:
· Auto Port Aggregation (APA)
· Network Interface Cards (NIC)
· Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA)
· Virtual LAN (VLAN)
· Tunnels
Note: APA and VLAN network interfaces are displayed only if the prod‐
ucts are installed on the HP-UX system.
With the Network Services Configuration tool, you can configure the
following network services:
· Bootable Devices
· DHCPv6
· DNS (BIND)
· Hosts
· NIS
· Name Service Switch
· Network Services
· Networked File Systems
· Routes
· System Access
· Time
When you run it attempts to connect to a Mozilla Web browser running on
the X server defined by the environment variable. If finds a running
Mozilla client, it uses that client. Otherwise, initiates a new
Mozilla session. The new session is initiated only if the Mozilla
process is running in the same system as that referenced by the vari‐
able, unless the option is used.
Note: By default, invokes the Mozilla Web browser. To support any
other browser (for example, Netscape), set the environment variable as
shown below:
The command opens the terminal user interface if any of the following
conditions are true:
· The command is invoked with the option.
· The environment variable is not set.
The command opens the Web-based interface if all the following condi‐
tions are true:
· The command is invoked with option.
· The environment variable is set.
· The command is available on the system.
If the command cannot open the Web-based interface, the command opens
the terminal user interface.
Options
recognizes the following options:
Force a client browser to be used in less secure ways.
The option forces the use of a client browser, even when
the X-traffic between the X-server and the Mozilla
browser is not secure. Use the option only when the
network traffic between the host where Mozilla is run‐
ning and the host in the environment variable is secure.
The option causes to invoke the Web-based interface of
the Network Interfaces Configuration and Network Ser‐
vices Configuration tools.
If cannot start the Web browser, it starts the terminal
interface.
Generate a temporary login bypass key.
The bypass key enables the privileged user to access the
Web interface without having to provide login informa‐
tion again.
The option causes to invoke the Web-based interface of
the Network Interfaces Configuration and Network Ser‐
vices Configuration tools.
Open the terminal user interface for managing network interfaces
and network services regardless of the current setting
of the environment variable.
Other Ways to Start the Tools
You can also start the Network Interfaces Configuration and Network
Services Configuration tools using one of the following methods:
· Invoke and select the functional area to launch the terminal
user interface or press on the keyboard to launch the Web-
based interface.
· Type the URL in the address bar of the Web browser to open
the Web-based interface. The hostname is the name of the
server.
· Open the HP-UX Systems Insight Manager on the server and
select the Network Configuration tool from the
Online Help
The online help is available after the Network Interfaces Configuration
tool or Network Services Configuration tool is open. The online help
provides information on how to use the tool.
