Configure Path Report Data for a Node

 

 

Type

A number indicating the type of path to configure:

 

 

 

1

Select this path type when the NI type

 

 

 

 

is ROUTER (Point-to-Point); or when the

 

 

 

 

NI type is LAN and the destination node

 

 

 

 

supports probe or ARP; or when the NI

 

 

 

 

type is TOKEN or FDDI and the

 

 

 

 

 

destination node supports ARP.

 

 

 

2

Select this path type when the NI type

 

 

 

 

is LAN, 100VG-AnyLAN or 100Base-T,

 

 

 

 

the destination node does not support

 

 

 

 

probe, and 802.3 framing is used.

 

 

 

3

Select this path type when the NI type

 

 

 

 

is X25.

 

 

 

 

5

Select this path type when the NI type

 

 

 

 

is LAN, 100VG-AnyLAN or 100Base-T,

 

 

 

 

the destination node does not support

 

 

 

 

ARP or probe, and Ethernet framing is

 

 

 

 

to be used.

 

 

 

 

6

Select this path type when the NI type

 

 

 

 

is TOKEN and the destination node does

 

 

 

 

not support ARP.

 

 

 

 

7

Select this path type when the NI type

 

 

 

 

is FDDI and the destination node does

 

 

 

 

not support ARP.
