If your browser is configured to use an Internet proxy, a local IP addresses should be included in the
exception list. Consult your network administrator for more information on the exception list. If you still
need to use the proxy to get to the HMC, enable Use HTTP 1.1 through proxy connections under the
Advanced tab in your Internet Options window.

Private and open networks in the HMC environment:
The HMC can be configured to use open and private networks. Private networks allow the use of a
selected range of nonroutable IP-addresses. A
public
, or "open" network describes a network connection
between the HMC to any logical partitions and to other systems on your regular network.
Private networks
The only devices on the HMC private network are the HMC itself and each of the managed systems to
which that HMC is connected. The HMC is connected to each managed system's FSP (Flexible Service
Processor).
On most systems, the FSP provides two Ethernet ports labeled
HMC1
and
HMC2
. This allows you to
connect up to two HMCs.
Some systems have a dual-FSP option. In this situation, the second FSP acts as a "redundant" backup. The
basic setup requirements for a system with two FSPs are essentially the same as those without a second
FSP. The HMC must be connected to each FSP, so additional network hardware is required (for example,
a LAN switch or hub) when there is more than one FSP or there are multiple managed systems.
Note:
Each FSP port on the managed system must be connected to only one HMC.
