configured for each new node. The

 

 

 

 

network directory contains

 

 

 

 

information that one node needs in

 

 

 

 

order to communicate with other

 

 

 

 

nodes. The only network directory

 

 

 

 

name supported by HP is

 

 

 

 

NSDIR.NET.SYS.

interface. The name can be up to eight

 

 

 

Point-to-Point Configuration;

alphanumeric characters, starting

 

 

 

X.25 Configuration

with a letter. The maximum number

 

 

 

 

of NIs that can be configured on a

 

 

 

 

node is 48. If a node interfaces to more

 

 

 

 

than one network, give each NI on

 

 

 

 

that node a unique name. You will use

 

 

 

 

the NI name with the NETCONTROL

 

 

 

 

command to start the transport and

 

 

 

 

network link.

Physical path

 

Point-to-Point Configuration

This is the location of the

 

 

 

 

programmable serial interface. Refer

 

 

 

 

to Chapter 7 , “Configuring a

 

 

 

 

Point-to-Point Node,” for further

 

 

 

 

details regarding physical path.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Physical path of

 

LAN Configuration

This is the location of the LANIC

 

LANIC

 

 

device adapter card. Refer to the LAN

 

 

 

 

section of Chapter 6 , “Configuring a

 

 

 

 

LAN Node,” for further details

 

 

 

 

regarding physical path.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Physical path of

 

FDDI Configuration

This is the location of the FDDI device

 

device adapter

 

 

adapter card. Refer to the FDDI

 

 

 

 

section of Chapter 6 , “Configuring a

 

 

 

 

LAN Node,” for further details

 

 

 

 

regarding the physical path.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Physical path of

 

Token Ring Configuration

This is the location of the Token Ring

 

Token Ring device

 

 

device adapter card. Refer to the
