Configure The Lan Console - HP L1000 - 9000 - 0 MB RAM User Manual

Configure the LAN Console

The LAN console allows you to access the console from the LAN using TelNet or http (revision B GSP only)
protocols. Below is an illustration of the LAN console.
The configuration of the LAN console of both the revision A and B GSPs may be done from either an ASCII
console or the external Secure Web Console. For the revision B GSP, an IP may be assigned via LAN by
pinging the LAN from a PC or workstation.
Configuring the GSP LAN Port via an ASCII console
The LAN port of the GSP allows connection via TelNet or http connections. Once the LAN parameters are
configured, the console may be accessed via a TelNet connection or via a web browser (revision B GSP only).
The default IP of the GSP LAN is 127.0.0.1.
NOTE The GSP has a separate LAN port from the system LAN port. It will need a separate LAN drop,
IP address, and networking information from the port used by HP-UX.
Before starting this procedure, you will need to know the following information:
• I.P. address (for GSP)
• Subnet mask
• Gateway address
• Hostname (this is used when messages are logged or printed)
To configure the GSP LAN port, perform the following steps:
1. Access the GSP with the ctrl+b entry.
2. At the GSP prompt, enter the LAN Configuration (lc) command:
GSP> lc
