HP e3000/iX Network Planning and Configuration Guide (36922-90037)

Chapter 6 99

Conﬁguring a LAN, Token Ring, FDDI, 100VG-AnyLAN, 100Base-T Node

To Conﬁgure a Token Ring Network Interface

NOTE

If the same Token Ring card is being used for both NS and SNA

communications, you must use the same value for this ﬁeld as is

conﬁgured for the SNA Link.

Step 5. Press the

[Save Data] key to save the Token Ring link conﬁguration. If

you need to identify neighbor gateways, press the

[Neighbor Gateways]

key and proceed to the section in the chapter called “To Identify

Neighbor Gateways.” Otherwise, proceed to Chapter 10, “Validating

Network Transport and Cross-Validating with SYSGEN,” and press the

[Validate Netxport] key.

Optional Keys

Press the

[List NIs] key to list the names and types of

already conﬁgured network interfaces.

Press the [Delete NI] key to remove a conﬁgured network

interface from the conﬁguration ﬁle.

Press the [Read Other NI] key to call up a previously

conﬁgured Network Interface name.

Fields

(NI) name Display only.

IP address The IP address is an address of a node on a network. An

IP address has two parts: a network portion and a node

portion. The network portion must be the same for all

nodes on a LAN network; the node portion must be

unique for all nodes on a LAN network.

HP assigns the network portion (initial nine digits) of IP addresses

from ARPA Class C, though your addresses may also be of Classes A or

B. The complete formats are:

For Class C, the node portion of the IP address must be between 001

and 254.

If you are adding your NS 3000/iX node to an existing network, the

network portion of each node’s IP address should be the same. You will

have to ﬁnd out what this is, and use it in the network portion of the IP

Class A nnn xxx.xxx.xxx

B nnn.nnn xxx.xxx

C nnn.mmm.mmm xxx

Where: nnn = the network portion of the IP address and

xxx = the node portion of the IP address.
