NS 3000/iX network subsystems on HP e3000 computers are configured using a
utility called the node management configuration manager (NMMGR). NMMGR uses a
series of VPLUS screens to display and accept configuration data. Configuration
data is stored in a hierarchically structured file, of file type NCONF, called
NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS. The network services, network transport, data
communications configurator, and logging services use NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS
to get the information they need to operate.
NMMGR may be used to configure the network in two ways.
Guided Configuration
directs you through an established sequence of configuration screens
for the type of network you are configuring. In general, you should
always use Guided Configuration to establish your initial network
configuration and in most cases for network maintenance and
updating.
Unguided Configuration (manual configuration) allows a more
random type of access to NMMGR screens. Unguided configuration is
more appropriate when examining or modifying the fields of a single
screen or of a few specific screens.
These two methods are not mutually exclusive; they may, with some restrictions,
be used in conjunction with one another during configuration. Refer to
Chapter 2 "Introductory Screens"
(Figure 2-1 "NMMGR Screen Flow") for the
screen flow of the introductory screens for guided and unguided configurations.
