Configuring a Point-to-Point Node
Configure Neighbor Gateways
Configure Neighbor Gateways
You need to visit the next two screens only if you are configuring a non-gateway node that is on the same network as a gateway. In this case, the non-gateway node needs to know the identity of any neighbor gateway. Neighbor gateways can be either full or half gateways.
Gateways that are on the same network are called neighbor gateways. A non-gateway node on a Point-to-Point network may need to go through a neighbor gateway in order to send messages to an entirely different network. (Two nodes are on the same network if the network portion of their IP addresses are the same.) All Point-to-Point nodes that are on the same network as a neighbor gateway need to know the identity of any neighbor gateways. When you configure a Point-to-Point node, you enter into its configuration the identity of any accessible neighbor gateways that share the same network. The identified gateways may be either full or half gateways.
You may designate one gateway as a default gateway. Messages for a network will be routed to the default gateway if there is no gateway configured for the destination network. The default gateway will then attempt to locate the destination of the message.
HP e3000 should not be used as a gateway.
