The 100-BaseT card is configured like any other card.  In NMMGR,
Configuration, NS - add a link.  With the proper version of MPE & Patch
level, one of your choices will be 100baseT.  You will need to know the
path.  The configuration options depend on how the Hub port is configured.
I had the link originally configured for half-duplex and negotiated.  I've
since changed to full-duplex, non-negotiated.  This change was coordinated
with the "LAN/HUB" people.

In either case, the 100baseT does not come up (or recover) as a gateway.
I've had to add a NETTOOL statement in startup file with a GATEUP command.
The other problem I have had is with router IP redirects.  I have multiple
gateways on both the Token-Ring and 100baseT NICS and there are additional
routers on the same segment that I .  Two of the gateways also share two LAN
segments.  This was configured to provide redundancy and if an outside link
goes down, ISDN dials-up on the alternate router and the routers issue IP
redirects.  This has resulted in greatly confusing the HP-3000 which creates
phantom gateways and loses connectivity to some destinations.  As a result
I've had IP redirects turned off on the routers (Cisco) and subsequently
have not had those problems since.  I don't see the point of redirects from
the 3k perspective.  If a router or interface goes down, you're SOL anyway
because the 3k will not get redirects from that interface.  Otherwise I
prefer to point the 3k at he routers I've chosen and let the routers handle
the routing.  Does anyone know if there is a way to turn off the feature on
the 3k so the router configurations don't have to be modified???

                Hello list members.

                We recently purchased a 100BaseT HP-PB card for our HP3000
967rx.
                Unfortunately it was purchased from a HP VAR.  Which meant
we didn't
                have the needed HP patches on tape during installation.
We've since
                received a DAT from HP software support with the necessary
patches
                and the card is now physically installed.  All that remains
is the
                configuration of the card.

                Can someone point me to a source of reliable information for
this task ? A
                web site...the list archive...a psychic hotline number...any
help and or
                comments will be greatly appreciated.

                Thank you.
