Gathering Configuration Information
Using the Local Parameter Worksheet
Using the Local Parameter Worksheet
Fill out a Local Parameter Worksheet for each subnetwork. Some of the
information you collected on the Remote System Worksheet will be
repeated here.
Local Worksheet Organization
Information on the Local Parameter Worksheet is organized as follows:
The configuration instructions in chapter 5, “Configuring and Verifying
OTS/9000” use the line numbers on this worksheet for easy reference.
General Considerations
A subnetwork is either a Local Area Network segment, or an X.25
Network to which your local node is attached.
If it is a LAN, each card connected to the LAN constitutes an OTS
subnetwork. You may have a maximum of two LAN subnetworks.
For X.25, if you have multiple cards connected to the same X.25 network
(for increased connections, throughput, or redundancy), you will typically
want to group these cards into a single OTS subnetwork.
You also have the option of using the same X.25 card in more than one
OTS subnetwork. This allows your system to listen on different network
addresses, or if you want to use both CLNS and CONS over this card.
