Configuring the Fibre Channel Board for TCP/IP
NOTE: Please read the following carefully, even if you are an
experienced administrator of TCP/IP networks.
If you have connected your Profile’s Ethernet connection to an existing TCP/IP
network, skip to the procedure “Configuring Fibre Channel for an Existing
Net.” If you have not connected your Profile’s Ethernet connection to an
existing network, go to the procedure “Configuring Fibre Channel for Isolated
Network Operation.”
NOTE: The Fibre Channel IP address must be different than the
Ethernet IP address.
Configuring Fibre Channel for Isolated Operation
To configure a Fibre Channel board on a system that is isolated from a network:
1. Set the Fibre Channel IP address with fcconfig -i XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX (see
“Configuring a Fibre Channel Hardware Address” on page 184). This IP
address must be different than the Ethernet IP address.
2. Enter the Fibre Channel IP address in c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
or you can use the fcncs Windows NT service to automatically update and
maintain the hosts file. For more information on fcncs , see “The PDR
Network Configuration Service” on page 188.
If you want to use fcncs to automatically update your hosts file, you must do
the following:
1. Enable auto host table administration with fcconfig -hta on . Your
c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file will be automatically
administered by fcncs .
2. Verify all the IP addresses and FC_IP addresses.
