5. For a non-gateway node, you should disable store and forward
buffers.
Enter zero (0) in the Store & Forward Buffers field.
6. After you have finished updating the IP Protocol Configuration,
press the [Save Data] key. Next,
a. Hold down the
[Shift] key and press the [Tab] key which returns
you to the command prompt.
b. At the command prompt, enter: validate, then press the [Enter]
key.
c. The Validate screen is displayed. Press the
[Validate Netxport] key
to validate the updated configuration.
7. To exit the NMMGR program, hold down the [Shift] key which

8. If you changed any of the parameters, you need to restart the
network in order to activate the changed configuration file as
described later in this chapter under the heading, “Restarting the
Network.”
Example: Subnet Mask
This example shows a network using class C IP addresses which has
been subnetted with the first three bits of the node address (in bold)
identifying the subnetwork. The IP address for two of the nodes in the
subnetwork are (in decimal and in binary):
192.006.012 041 1100 0000 0000 0110 0000 1100 0010 1001
192.006.012 055 1100 0000 0000 0110 0000 1100 0010 0111
a subnet mask for these two nodes is:
255.255.255 224 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1110 0000
NOTE The network address and the three bits identifying the subnet bits are
set to ones.
For this example, the decimal equivalent (255.255.255 224) is
entered in the IP Subnet Mask field.
