Configuring LAN connections

Configuration parameters

When configuring network interfaces, you must supply configuration parameters that enable networking hardware to interact with other system hardware and protocol stacks to identify your host system and transmission paths correctly. To configure network interfaces, you must configure:

hardware: Set up your adapter to work with your computer's hardware using utilities supplied with your computer, networking adapters, and UnixWare 7 system.
drivers: Configure a network driver to work with your adapter.
protocols: Configure an protocol stack or serial protocol to enable communication with remote systems.

When configuring network hardware, you must ensure that the networking parameters are not already in use by other system hardware by using the DCU (Device Configuration Utility).
