Setting up 802.3 and Ethernet II on One LAN Card 

If you havea network environment including clients using both Ethernet
802.3 and Ethernet II frame type, you can set up your system to support
both over one LAN card.  The SCONSOLE utility "Add a Network" function is
used to configure a network.

Adding Ethernet 802.3 Network 

If you have not changed the default configuration for NetWare for the HP
3000, the Ethernet 802.3 configuration is already done.  The default
configuration uses the values described in Table 7-3  under the
column, Ethernet 802.3 values using defaults).

If you do not have an 802.3 network configured, you can use the Add a
Network function to enter the values from the table.

Adding Ethernet II Network.   

To add an Ethernet II network:

   1.  From the Main menu in SCONSOLE, select Configuration (item 2).

   2.  The Configuration menu is displayed.  Select Transport
       Configuration (item 1).

   3.  The Transport Configuration Menu is displayed.  Select Add A
       Network (item 4).

   4.  The Add a Network screen is displayed.  You are prompted to enter
       each parameter value.

       Use Table 7-3  under the column, Ethernet II to enter the
       correct values for each parameter.  Press <Enter> after each item
       is entered to move to the next field.

       This example shows the second network using the value 00000003 for
       the network number.

   5.  After you enter the parameters requested, the following is
       displayed:

       Added Network nnnnnnnn
