Configuring a X.25 Node
Configure Neighbor Gateways
if necessary, to allow configuration of up to 2550 reachable networks per link (255 pages and 10 reachable nets per page). If you need to configure more than 10 networks, press the [Save Data] key then press the [Next Page] key to enter more networks.
Step 6. After you have finished entering the IP addresses of all the reachable
| networks, press the [Save Data] key. Press the [Prior Screen] key to |
| return to the Neighbor Gateways screen. |
| Step 7. Back at the Neighbor Gateways screen, after you have finished adding |
| all of the neighboring gateways, press the [Prior Screen] key to return to |
| the X.25 Configuration screen. Follow the instructions for step 7 in the |
| section in this chapter titled “To Configure an X.25 Network.” |
Fields | If you have identified any neighbor gateways, then you will also be |
| identifying: 1) the IP Network Addresses of all of the networks that you |
| can reach through that gateway, and 2) the number of hops |
| (corresponding to the number of gateways) that a packet passes |
| through to reach a remote network from the local network. Two |
| gateway halves count as one hop. |
| Neighbor Gateway IP Internet Address |
| The IP address of the gateway whose name you have |
| specified on the Neighbor Gateways Screen. The IP |
| address is in the same format as the LAN |
| Configuration screen. |
| IP Network Address |
| In the fields under this heading, you list the IP |
| addresses of all of the networks that you will be able to |
| reach through the gateway you are configuring. You |
| also use this field to indicate whether or not the |
| gateway is to serve as a default gateway by entering an |
| at sign (@) to specify that it is a default gateway. |
| Multiple gateways can be designated for each HP e3000 |
| systems. |
| IP Mask (Optional) |
| The fields under this heading allow you to specify a |
| subnet mask for each reachable network. This mask is |
| optional. For details on deriving an IP subnet mask, see |
| |
| Hops |
| In the fields under this heading, enter the number of |
| hops corresponding to the number of gateways that a |
| packet travels to reach a remote network from a local |
| network. |
