To Validate the Network Transport
To Validate the Network Transport
The following procedure assumes that you have already configured and
validated the Distributed Terminal Subsystem (DTS). The DTS must be
validated before you can validate the network transport (Netxport)
software. Upon configuring the selected screens for your network:
Step 1. Press the
[Validate Netxport] key. Refer to the list of screens with the
[Validate Netxport] key.
LAN — Figure 6-2
Token Ring — Figure 6-3
FDDI — Figure 6-4
100VG-AnyLAN — Figure 6-5
100Base-T — Figure 6-6
Point-to-Point Shared Dial — Figure 7-5
Point-to-Point Direct Dial — Figure 7-6
X.25 — Figure 8-3
Gateway Half — Figure 9-2
Logging — Figure 13-2
Messages similar to the following ones will be displayed:
Searching for subsystem validation routine VALIDATENETXPOR
–> VALIDATION OF NETXPORT SUBSYSTEM STARTED
–> VALIDATION OF NETXPORT SUBSYSTEM FINISHED
Copying validated subsystems to backup configuration
file (Press RETURN when done viewing screen contents)
Step 2. See the NS 3000/iX Error Messages Reference Manual for explanations
of any validation errors. After viewing the messages, press
[RETURN] to
return to the LAN, Token Ring, FDDI, 100VG-AnyLAN, and 100Base-T
Configuration screen.
Step 3. If you need to configure a network directory, proceed to Chapter 11,
“Configuring the Network Directory.” If you do not need to configure the
network directory, exit NMMGR, and proceed to the section in this
chapter titled “To Cross-Validate in SYSGEN.” To exit NMMGR, press
the
[Prior Screen] key on successive screens until you reach the Open
Configuration Directory File screen where you should press the
[Exit Program] key.
