Configuring LAN connections

Configuring protocols

Configure protocols for network adapters using the Network Configuration Manager:

To add a protocol:
Select the adapter that will use the protocol from the displayed list, then select Protocol Add protocol.
To modify protocol configuration:
Select the protocol to modify from the displayed list, then select Protocol Modify protocol configuration. Enter new configuration parameters as you did when adding protocols.
To view protocol configuration:
Select the protocol to view from the displayed list, then select Protocol View protocol configuration.
To remove a protocol configuration:
Select the protocol to remove from the displayed list, then select Protocol Remove protocol. You will be prompted to confirm your choice and informed when the operation is complete.
NOTE: If your network interface consists of only one adapter and one protocol, deconfiguring the protocol will also remove the adapter.

If your modifications to protocols have altered kernel parameters, the Network Configuration Manager will prompt you to relink the kernel when the manager exits. If you do not answer Yes at this time, you can do so later; see ``Rebuilding your system''. You must reboot your system before changes to the kernel take effect.

Additional information about protocol configuration is provided in the UnixWare 7 documentation set:

TCP/IP configuration: See Administering TCP/IP and Internet services
NFS^®: See Configuring and administering NFS
SCO Advanced File and Print Server services: The Network Configuration Manager enables you to configure Advanced Server networking transport protocols and applications. See your Advanced Server documentation for more information.
Other network protocols: The Network Configuration Manager enables you to configure other compatible networking transport protocols and applications; see your vendor's documentation for more information.
