Configuring a X.25 Node

Configure an X.25 Network Interface

Remote node name

You must enter the remote node name of each X.25 node into the network directory. Include entries for all remote nodes and, if you want to be able to perform loopback, the local node as well.

Remote IP address

Also in the network directory, you must enter the IP Address of each node whose identity you have entered into the network directory. For the format of this parameter, see the information in the “Fields” section under “Configure X.25 Network.”

Address key

The X.25 address key is the name of a remote node with which your local node will be communicating. Hewlett-Packard recommends that you make the name be the node portion of the remote node’s name (where its full name is node.domain.organization). You must configure an X.25 address key for each remote node with which your node will be communicating. You have a combined maximum of 1024 X.25 address keys in the SVC and PVC path tables. The X.25 address key name must be eight characters or less and the first character must be alphabetic. A default address key called POOL allows any system to access the local system even if the remote system’s address is not configured. POOL can also be used when level 3 programmatic access (NetIPC) provides an X.25 address.

Network Interface (NI) name

Display only.

SVC or PVC Parameters

The parameters for assigning either SVCs or PVCs are described in the following paragraphs.

For SVCs

Remote X.25 address

The remote X.25 address is the remote node’s X.25 address. This address is required for SVCs if you have specified an X.25 address key. This address must be 15 digits or less.
