Conﬁguring a Point-to-Point Node

Conﬁgure Node Mapping

The screens discussed in the following pages allow you to conﬁgure shared dial or direct connect and dial node mapping. These screens allow you to specify routes to target (destination) nodes and to indicate the priority of each route.

The number of mappings you enter depends on how many links are on the node you are conﬁguring.

Nodes Having Single Links

If you are conﬁguring a node (call it Node A) that has only one Point-to-Point link to a second node (call it Node B), you enter one route name as the mapping to the adjacent node (Node B).

If there are additional nodes attainable beyond Node B, you would only have to enter one more mapping: make up a route name, and then you can indicate the additional (non-adjacent) nodes by specifying a “wildcard” (@) in the destination IP address ﬁeld of either the Dialed or Non-dialed Node Mapping Conﬁguration screens.

Nodes Having Multiple Links

If you are conﬁguring a node that has more than one Point-to-Point link, you could ultimately have several paths to a non-adjacentdestination node. Hence, if this node has more than one Point-to-Point link, enter a symbolic route name for every other destination node on the network.

The route name is only used during conﬁguration of this node, and you do not have to repeat it when you conﬁgure other nodes.

Select a Node Mapping Screen

To begin conﬁguring node mapping, you should be at the Point-to-Point Link Conﬁguration screen (#44) in Figure 7-2.You will conﬁgure node mapping for each link you are conﬁguring.

Step 1. Enter the name of a conﬁgured link in the ﬁeld at the bottom of the screen next to the words To configure router mapping enter Link Name.

Step 2. Press the [Link Routing] key.

Step 3. If the Type speciﬁed for the selected link is SD, proceed to the section in this chapter titled “To Conﬁgure Shared Dial Node Mapping.”

Step 4. If the Type speciﬁed for the selected link is DD or DC, proceed to the section in this section titled “To Conﬁgure Direct Connect/Dial Node Mapping.”
