To Conﬁgure Node Mapping

Figure 7-6 Direct Connect/Dial Node Mapping Conﬁguration Screen

Each router NI can have up to 1024 mappings. However, 4096 is the

absolute maximum number of unique phone numbers supported per

NMCONFIG File.

Step 1. In the Route Name ﬁeld, enter a symbolic name that represents a route

between the node you are conﬁguring and a destination node.

Step 2. In the Destination IP Address ﬁeld, enter the IP address of the

destination node for which a route is being speciﬁed.

Step 3. In the Priority ﬁeld, enter a number from 1 to 99 to indicate the

priority of this route if there are multiple routes to a destination.

Step 4. In the Disable Route ﬁeld, leave the default alone unless you want to

temporarily disable a conﬁgured route.

Step 5. If this is a dial link, in the Phone Number ﬁeld, enter the telephone

number of the destination node.

Step 6. The Security String ﬁeld is optional. You may enter a string that

remote nodes must use to gain dial link access to the node you are

conﬁguring.

Step 7. Enter information for non-adjacent (remote) nodes in the same manner

in the ﬁelds provided. (You do not conﬁgure a phone number or security

string for non-adjacent nodes.)

Step 8. Press the

[Save Data] key to save the data on the screen. Proceed to

Chapter 10, “Validating Network Transport and Cross-Validating with

SYSGEN,” and press the
