Re: STP Setup question for IBM 2818 processsor

HI ;
Wondering if anyone can tell me when I try to setup STP on the HMC and I am 
doing the Network Configuration Setup. I enter Preferred time server and check 
of the only allow the server specificied above to be in the CTN. Would I have 
to select the initialize time and if so what will this task do. Any insight is 
appreciated.
Also what would the force configuration da as well.

Thanks Ben


Going under the assumption you are setting an STP only CTN the answer is Yes. 
You will need to Initialize Time. This will allow you to set the Leap seconds, 
Time Zone offset, Date and time.

Most likely your Leap seconds will be 0
For Time Zone Offset you should select Automatically Adjust 
For Set Date/Time select Use the configured External Time Source to ... I 
assume you already have an ETS setup.

The last thing you do is assign CTN roles. 

You will use Force Configuration if this is a new STP setup.

Thanks

In case you haven't already, it would be very beneficial for you to spend
some time with the STP Planning Guide - SG24-7280 from RedBooks:

http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg247280.html


Also, the STP Implementation Guide - SG24-7281 redbook has explicit
examples of how to configure STP depending on your starting point.

http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg247281.html


You should look at these before attempting your initial setup, I think they
will be very helpful.
