Configuring a node as a gateway half requires configuring two separate network interfaces: one for the interface between the two gateway halves, and a second for the gateway half’s interface to its home network.

If this gateway half interfaces to a LAN, Token Ring, FDDI, 100VG-AnyLAN, or 100Base-T network, you should have already configured its network interface according to the instructions in Chapter 6 , “Configuring a LAN Node.” If this gateway half interfaces to a Point-to-Point or X.25 network, you should already have configured its NI according to instructions in Chapter 7 , “Configuring a Point-to-Point Node,” and Chapter 8 , “Configuring a X.25 Node,” respectively. If you have not, do so now and then return to this chapter.

This chapter includes step-by-step instructions to help you perform the following tasks:

•Begin the configuration process.

•Configure a gatehalf.

Once the above tasks are completed, refer to Chapter 10 , “Validating
