Configuring a Point-to-Point Node

Configure a Point-to-Point Network Interface

 

space. An IP mask is used when

 

configuring subnetworks. The mask

 

identifies which bits of an IP address

 

will be used to define a subnetwork. To

 

determine these bits, you first need to

 

estimate how many subnetworks and

 

nodes per subnetwork you need. See

 

Chapter 2 , “Networking Concepts,” for

 

details on deriving an IP subnet mask.

Link Name

The link name can have up to eight

 

alphanumeric characters and the first

 

character must be alphabetic.

Physical Path

The physical path number corresponds

 

to the slot location of a node’s

 

programmable serial interface (PSI)

 

card, and LAPBMUX card (ACC).

 

Recommended slot locations and

 

physical path calculations vary

 

according to the type of HP e3000

 

system you are running.

 

For the various platforms, physical

 

path syntax (examples only) look like:

 

Series 9x7:

48

 

Series 9x8:

56/44

 

Series 9x9:

10/4/16

 

Series 99x:

0/28/12

 

Series N4000:

1/10/0/1.7

 

Series A500:

0/2/0/1.4

 

If you are unsure of the slot location or

 

of the physical path number to

 

configure for your system, run the

 

offline ODE MAPPER utility, see your

 

system documentation, or consult your

 

Hewlett-Packard service

 

representative.

 

Speed

The line transmission speed is given in

 

bits per second. For direct connect the

 

value, must be supported by the cable.

 

Values are 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600,

 

19200, 38400, 56000, and 64000. The

 

default is 56000.
