![[NS Configuration Screen]](img/gfx4.gif)
Guided/Unguided Configuration
Use the function keys on this screen to select the guided or the unguided configuration branch for NS configuration. If you are using domain names for network access, enter the domain name for the system you are configuring in the local domain name field in place of the local node name. (If you are not using domain names, leave the local node name as is.) If you are entering a domain name, press the [Save Data] key to save the domain name in the configuration file before continuing. Hewlett-Packard recommends that you press the [Guided Config] key to select the guided configuration branch whenever you need to initially configure a network interface. Guided configuration supplies many default values for your configuration and requires that you visit a minimal number of screens. To use the guided configuration screens, refer to the HP e3000/iX Network Planning and Configuration Guide. If you need to modify configuration values that are not available on the guided screens, press the [Unguided Config] key to select the unguided configuration branch. This manual provides information on every screen available to you through unguided NS configuration.
Fields
- Local domain name
If you are not using domain names for network access, leave the local node name in this field.
If you are using domain names, enter the name of this system in the ARPANET standard format. This name can be used by other nodes on the network to access this host.
The domain name is composed of labels, with each label separated by a period. Each label must start with a letter or digit and have as interior characters only letters, digits, hyphens (-) or underbars (_). A domain name may have any number of labels but its total length, including periods, is limited to 255 characters. Domain names are not case sensitive.
