4 Network Configuration

Configuring the Network for the Service Processor

The SP Network submenu of the SPMAINT utility allows you to manage the network and dialup
settings for the SP.

NOTE:

Modem support is available only for systems that are earlier than SP 4.1.0.

To access the SP Network submenu:

Procedure 1

1.

Log in to the SP as the spvar or 3parcust user.

Enter 2 for Network Configuration, and then press Enter.

Enter 4 for Change Public Network Interface Parameters, and then press Enter.

The current values are displayed along the right column. As you edit the values displayed in this
menu, the new values appear to the right of the current values. Modifications made with this
submenu are not permanent until you save or activate them from this menu by using menu option
