Configuring a X.25 Node

Configure an X.25 Network Interface

 

nodes per subnetwork you need. See

 

Chapter 2 , “Networking Concepts,” for

 

details on deriving an IP subnet mask.

Link Name

The link name identifies a specific

 

DTC/X.25 Network Access card to be

 

used for X.25 system-to-system

 

connections. This link name must be

 

the same as the link name you entered

 

for this card when you configured your

 

DTCs. You may configure up to 11

 

links. (One link must be used for

 

loopback. Loopback will be

 

automatically configured during the

 

guided screen configuration.)

DTC Node Name

The DTC node name is the fully

 

qualified nodename

 

(name.domain.organization) of the

 

DTC that contains the DTC/X.25

 

Network Access card with the

 

configured link name.

Card Number

The DTC card number is the number of

 

the DTC/X.25 Network Access card in

 

the associated DTC. If the card is

 

contained in a DTC 48, the DTC card

 

number can be any number from 1 to 5.

 

If the card is contained in a DTC 16,

 

the card number must be 2.
