Connecting to the Host Computer
To obtain an IP address
To obtain an IP address
Obtain the following information from your local network
1
administrator or system administrator:
•
An IP address for the HP processor probe.
•
The gateway address.
The gateway address is an IP address and is entered in integer dot notation.
The default gateway address is 0.0.0.0, which only allows connections on the
local network or subnet. If connections are to be made to workstations on
other networks or subnets, this address must be set to the address of the
gateway machine.
Find out whether port numbers 6470 and 6471 are already in use on
2
your network.
The host computer interfaces communicate with the HP processor probe
through two TCP service ports. The default base port number is 6470. The
second port has the next higher number (default 6471).
The default numbers (6470, 6471) can be changed if they conflict with some
other product on your network. TCP service port numbers must be greater
than 1024. If you change the base port, the new value must also be entered in
the /etc/services file on the host computer. For example, you could add or
modify the line:
hp64700 6470/tcp
To change the port numbers, see page 11. If you have already set the IP
address, you can use a telnet connection instead of a serial connection to
connect to the HP processor probe.
Write down the link-level address of the HP processor probe.
3
You will need this address if you use BOOTP or ipconfig700 to set the IP
address.
The link-level address (LLA) is printed on a label above the LAN connectors
on the HP processor probe. This address is configured in each HP processor
probe shipped from the factory and cannot be changed.
