Step 1. In the IP address field, enter the internet protocol (IP) address for the node being configured. An example of an address is:
C 192.191.191 009.
Step 2. The IP subnet mask is optional. If entering one, tab to the IP subnet mask field and enter the number in the same format as an IP address.
Step 3. Move to the Link Name field. Enter a link name to represent the Point-to-Point card for which you are configuring a link. This name must be unique to both the node and the network interface (NI). Up to 40 network links are supported per Point-to-Point (router) NI. (Up to eight network links are supported per screen. To configure additional links, save the current screen and then clear the screen to add additional links.)
Step 4. Tab down to the Physical Path field. Enter the physical path number corresponding to the SPU slot number of the programmable serial interface (PSI) card, or slot and part of advanced communication controller (ACC) card.
