When you use guided configuration to update the LAN NI for
Ethernet support, default parameters are set for the address resolution
protocol (ARP) configuration. To verify what these are, or to change them, do the following: Obtain the configured LAN NI name (issue
a NETCONTROL STATUS command). Run NMMGR.PUB.SYS. At the Open Configuration/Directory File screen,
ensure that the configuration file NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS
appears as the configuration file name. You want to open the file
by pressing the [Open Config] key The HP Configuration screen is displayed. At the
Command prompt, enter the direct path name as follows and then press
the [Enter] key: @NETXPORT.NI.niname.PROTOCOL.ARP where niname is the configured
LAN NI name. The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) Configuration
screen is displayed. The ARP parameters are: Retransmission Maximum:
The maximum number of times an ARP request will be sent if no reply
arrives. Range: 1 to 10 Default: 2 Retransmission Timeout: The
time (in seconds) between retransmissions of ARP requests if no
reply has arrived. Range: 1 to 10 Default: 1
If you change any parameters, press the [Save Data]
key. Next, Hold down the [Shift]
key and press the [Tab] key which returns you to
the command prompt. At the command prompt, enter: validate,
then press the [Enter] key. The Validate screen is displayed. Press the [Validate Netxport]
key to validate the updated configuration.
To exit the NMMGR program, hold down the [Shift]
key and press the [Tab] key which returns you to
the command prompt. At the command prompt, enter: EXIT,
then press the [Enter] key. If you changed any of the parameters, you need to
restart the network in order to activate the changed configuration
file as described later in this chapter under the heading, "Restarting
the Network."
