Step 1. In the Neighbor Gateway IP Internet Address field, enter the IP address of the gateway specified on the Neighbor Gateways screen.

C192.191.191 009 is a typical address.

Step 2. In the IP Network Address fields under the title Configured Reachable Networks, enter the IP addresses of all the remote networks that can be reached through the gateway whose IP address is configured in the previous field. If you want to designate this gateway as a default gateway, enter an at sign (@) in one of the fields as well.

Step 3. The IP subnet mask is optional. If entering one, tab to the next field. In the IP subnet mask field, enter the number in the same format as an IP address.

Step 4. In the field labeled Hops, enter the number of hops (full gateways) needed to get to the target network. Two partner gateway halves count as one hop.

Step 5. Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 for each remote reachable network. The information configured in this screen can extend to more than one page, if necessary, to allow configuration of up to 2550 reachable networks per link (255 pages and 10 reachable nets
