per page). If you need to configure more than 10 networks, press the [Save Data] key then press the [Next Page] key to enter more networks.
Step 6. After you have finished entering the IP addresses of all the reachable
| networks, press the [Save Data] key. Press the [Prior Screen] key to |
| return to the Neighbor Gateways screen. |
| Step 7. Back at the Neighbor Gateways screen, after you have finished adding |
| all of the neighboring gateways, press the [Prior Screen] key to return to |
| the selected configuration screen (LAN, Token Ring, or FDDI). Proceed |
| to Chapter 10 , “Validating and |
Fields | If you have identified any neighbor gateways, then you will also be |
| identifying: 1) the IP Network Addresses of all of the networks that you |
| can reach through that gateway, and 2) the number of hops |
| (corresponding to the number of gateways) that a packet passes |
| through to reach a remote network from the local network. Two |
| gateway halves count as one hop. |
| Neighbor Gateway IP Internet Address |
| The IP address of the gateway whose name you have |
| specified on the Neighbor Gateways Screen. The IP |
| address is in the same format as the selected |
| configuration screen (LAN, Token Ring, or FDDI). |
| IP Network Address |
| In the fields under this heading, you list the IP |
| addresses of all of the networks that you will be able to |
| reach through the gateway you are configuring. You |
| also use this field to indicate whether or not the |
| gateway is to serve as a default gateway by |
| entering an at sign (@) to specify that it is a |
| default gateway. Only one gateway can be |
| designated as a default gateway for each |
| HP e3000 system. |
| IP Mask (Optional) |
| The fields under this heading allow you to specify a |
| subnet mask for each reachable network. This mask is |
| optional. |
| Hops |
| In the fields under this heading, enter the number of |
| hops corresponding to the number of gateways that a |
| packet travels to reach a remote network from a local |
| network. |
