6 Configuring a LAN Node

This chapter provides step-by-step instructions for configuring local area network (LAN), Token Ring, Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), 100VG-AnyLAN, and 100Base-T links. This manual assumes that you are using the guided configuration capabilities of NMMGR.

Figure 6-1shows the screen flow for configuring LAN, Token Ring, FDDI, 100VG-AnyLAN, and 100Base-T screens. Screens unique to the configuration of LAN, Token Ring, FDDI, 100VG-AnyLAN and 100Base-T are indicated by bold boxed screens. [FUNCTION] denotes the function key used at a screen to invoke the next screen on the screen flow.
