Step 7. Enter or modify field values as required (refer to the field descriptions below).

If you add more VCs to an interface in the future, you must stop the interface with x25stop or with SMH’s Disable Card function and restart it as an IP interface with SMH’s Enable Card function or with the following command:

x25init -c[configuration_file]-a [ipmapfile]
