The VG100LAN Link Configuration screen (#296) in Figure 3-10 "100VG LAN Link Configuration Screen" is displayed when you select a link name of type VG100LAN at the Link Selection screen (Figure 3-2 "Link Selection Screen") and press the [Add] or [Modify] function key. It is also displayed when you type the path name:

@LINK.linkname

in the command window of any screen and press the [Enter] key, where linkname is the name of a configured VG100LAN link.

Press the [Save Data] function key to transfer the data displayed on the screen to the configuration file you are creating or updating. Verify that the data record has been created by checking that the Data flag is set to Y.

Fields

Physical path of device adapter

The physical path number corresponds to the I/O slot where the 100VG LAN network interface card is installed. Each hardware platform has a specific format and designation for the physical path. Refer to Appendix E, "Verifying Attached Devices" in the System Startup, Configuration, and Shutdown Reference Manual for the procedure on how to determine the physical paths of I/O cards installed in the system.

Use factory-configured local station address?

(HP modifiable.)

Y

Indicates that the factory-configured local station address is to be used.

N

Indicate that a new value should be used as the local station address. Do not change the factory-configured address except on the specific instructions of your network administrator or your Hewlett-Packard representative.

Default value: Y

Local station address

(HP modifiable.) Specifies the new local station address if the address is being changed. Your HP support representative will supply instructions for what to enter.

Link speed

This field is used to determine the mode with which the card will communicate.

Default value: 100

Full Duplex mode

If auto-negotiation is turned of, then this field is used to determine the mode with which the card will communicate.

Default value: N=Half

Trace at startup?:

Enter Y (YES) to enable link tracing, N (NO) otherwise. This value can be overridden with the LINKCONTROL command. If enable link tracing is selected, a trace file name is required.

For best performance, do not enable tracing.

Default value: N

Trace file name:

Required if link trace is enabled. Name of the disk file where you want to record tracing. Must be a valid MPE file name. Enter the file name in the format filename.groupname.acctname. The fully qualified file name can be as many as 26 characters.

Lockwords are not allowed for trace files.

Do not specify the same file name with the NMMGR configuration as specified with the LINKCONTROL command. Only one active trace is allowed per link.
