Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

IP address

 

LAN Configuration;

There are two methods of entering an

 

 

 

Token Ring Configuration;

internet protocol (IP) address within

 

 

 

FDDI Configuration;

NMMGR:

 

 

 

Point-to-Point Configuration;

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

 

 

 

Point-to-Point Configuration;

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.
