|
| IP address |
| LAN Configuration; | There are two methods of entering an |
|
|
| Token Ring Configuration; | internet protocol (IP) address within |
|
|
| FDDI Configuration; | NMMGR: |
|
|
| 1. Enter the fully qualified IP | |
|
|
| X.25 Configuration | |
|
|
| address (for example, Class C, | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| C 192.191.191 009). |
|
|
|
| OR |
|
|
|
| 2. Enter only the network (nnn) and |
|
|
|
| node (xxx) portions of the IP |
|
|
|
| address as four positive integers |
|
|
|
| between 0 and 255 separated by |
|
|
|
| periods or blanks (for example, |
|
|
|
| 15.123.44.98). |
|
|
|
| You need not enter the following |
|
|
|
| items as NMMGR will fill these in: |
|
|
|
| a. Class A, B, C |
|
|
|
| b. Leading zeros for the network |
|
|
|
| and node portion of the IP |
|
|
|
| address. |
|
|
|
| All nodes on the same network must |
|
|
|
| use the same class of IP address. The |
|
|
|
| network portion of the address must |
|
|
|
| be the same for all nodes on the same |
|
|
|
| network. |
|
|
|
|
|
| IP subnet mask |
| LAN Configuration; | The IP subnet mask is optional. An IP |
|
|
| Token Ring Configuration; | subnet mask is specified in the same |
|
|
| FDDI Configuration; | format as an IP address. The mask |
|
|
| identifies which bits of an IP address | |
|
|
| X.25 Configuration | will be used to define a subnetwork. |
|
|
|
| For more information refer, to the |
|
|
|
| configuration chapter for the type of |
|
|
|
| link you are configuring. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Link name |
|
| The link name represents a hardware |
|
|
|
| interface card. This name must be |
|
|
|
| unique to both the node and the |
|
|
|
| network. The link name can have up |
|
|
|
| to eight alphanumeric characters and |
|
|
|
| the first character must be alphabetic. |
|
|
|
|
|
| (LAN Link name) |
| LAN Configuration | This represents the LAN card for |
|
|
|
| which you are configuring a link. |
|
|
|
|
|
| (Token Ring Link |
| Token Ring configuration | This represents the Token Ring card |
| name) |
|
| for which you are configuring a link. |
