9.3 Using the PMDF-LAN Command Line Configuration Utility

This section presents a step-by-step procedure for generating the PMDF-LAN configuration files using the PMDF-LAN command line configuration utility, PMDF CONFIGURE LAN.

  1. Configuration of PMDF-LAN should be done using the SYSTEM account to ensure that the necessary privileges are available to create the configuration files. If you are not logged in as SYSTEM, do so now.
  2. Begin the configuration procedure by invoking the PMDF-LAN command line configuration utility as follows:


    $ SET DEFAULT PMDF_TABLE:
    $ PMDF CONFIGURE LAN
    

  3. The configuration procedure will optionally print out detailed explanations of each prompt as it proceeds. Unless you are conversant with the procedure, you should enable the detailed output.
  4. The answers to all the prompts are logged to a file in the PMDF_TABLE: directory. After the first configuration, PMDF CONFIGURE LAN can use the answers to the previous run as the default answers.
  5. Once you have completed running PMDF CONFIGURE LAN, type out or print out the PMDF_TABLE:lan.checklist file and complete the configuration by following the steps outlined in the checklist.
