Configuring a LAN Node

Configure an FDDI Network Interface

Step 5. Press the [Save Data] key to save the FDDI link configuration. If you need to identify neighbor gateways, press the [Neighbor Gateways] key and proceed to the section in the chapter called “To Identify Neighbor Gateways.” Otherwise, proceed to Chapter 10 , “Validating and Cross-Validating with SYSGEN,” and press the [Validate Netxport] key.

IP address

The IP address is an address of a node on a network. An IP address has two parts: a network portion and a node portion. The network portion must be the same for all nodes on a FDDI network; the node portion must be unique for all nodes on a FDDI network.

There are two methods of entering an internet protocol (IP) address within NMMGR:

1.Enter the fully qualified IP address (for example, Class C,

C 192.191.191 009).

OR

2.Enter only the network (nnn) and node (xxx) portions of the IP address as four positive integers between 0 and 255 separated by periods or blanks (for example, 15.123.44.98).

You need not enter the following items as NMMGR will fill these in:

•Class A, B, C

•Leading zeros for the network and node portion of the IP address.
