4. To modify a network processor object, locate the NP object you want to modify and
perform the appropriate actions as follows:
• To modify the network processor instance identifier, select the NP object and on
the Properties panel and update the NP instance identifier field .
• To remove the NP from being enabled by the MCP Firmware of the I/O engine,
uncheck the check box for that NP.
• To assign a NP to be enabled by the MCP Firmware of the I/O engine, select the
check box for that NP.
5. Perform the following steps to modify the properties of an EVLAN line on a NP:
a. Type the IP address in the EVLAN IP Address field for the EVLAN connection
object.
The IP address that initially appears is the default. If you enter a different value, it
is used to modify the IPv4 address of the EVLAN adapter in the IOE. A value
entered here is stored in the registry of the I/O engine and appears the next time
you use System Editor to configure MCP networking.
b. Type the subnet mask in the EVLAN IP Address Mask field of the EVLAN
connection object. The subnet mask that initially appears is the default. If you
enter a different value, it is stored in the registry of the I/O engine and appears the
next time you use System Editor to configure MCP networking.
6. To modify a line object, locate the line object of the adapter you want to modify and
perform the appropriate actions as follows:
• To return an MCP network adapter to the control of the I/O engine, locate the line
for the adapter you wish to modify and uncheck the check box for that line.
• To assign a NIC or a virtual adapter as an MCP network adapter, locate the line for
the adapter you want to modify and check the check box for that line.
• To modify the line instance identifier, select the Line object and update the Line
ID field in the Properties panel.
7. Verify the accuracy of your settings. If any changes are needed, remain in the
configuration tree view and complete any necessary modifications.
8. Save the PCD by clicking the Save button.
9. If necessary, ready the PCD for operation by clicking the Set Active button.
A dialog box might be displayed indicating that a reboot of the I/O engine is required.
10. Click Yes to reboot the I/O engine.
Customizing the Server Configuration
The networking settings are written to the registry of each affected I/O engine. If you
have changed any adapter line numbers or the network processor numbers of existing
MCP connections, the necessary protocol bindings of the adapters are modified. This
process can take several minutes to complete. The appropriate Net icon in the MCP
View tab of the MCP Console is offline during the reboot.
When the I/O engine finishes rebooting, the appropriate Net icon in the MCP View
tab of the MCP Console is running and the network configuration is available.
Note: You might need to adjust the network initialization files to match the updated
configuration.
