Configuring an X.25 Node
To Configure an X.25 Network Interface
a. In the Remote X.25 address field, enter the X.25 address of the
remote host for X.25 public data networks or private networks.
b. Make sure the name of the facility set you are using is in the
Facility set field. You may either choose the default facility set
(STDSFSET) or enter an alternative. If you are configuring a new
facility set, enter a new name. (To modify facility set parameters,
enter a 5 in the last field on the screen and press the
[Go To] key.)
c. In the Security class field, enter the level of logical security you
want to have on this particular entry. The possible values are IN
(accept calls from the address), IO (accept calls from and send calls
to the address, default), OU (send calls to the address, incoming calls
are rejected), and LK (block calls to or from the address).
Step 5. If the address type is a permanent virtual circuit (PVC), in the
Permanent VC number field, enter the PVC number of the PVC on the
remote node. This value cannot be greater than the number of PVCs for
which you are subscribed. It must be within the PVC range you defined
during DTC configuration.
Step 6. After you have finished entering new information for each remote node,
press the
[Save Data] key. (Press the key once for each remote node you
are configuring.)
Step 7. If you have completed configuration of X.25, press the
[Validate Netxport]
key and proceed to Chapter 10, “Validating Network Transport and
Cross-Validating with SYSGEN.” Otherwise, press the
[Prior Screen]
key to return to the X.25 Configuration screen.
Fields Network
directory
name The network directory file that will be updated by the
information entered through this screen.
Remote node
name You must enter the remote node name of each X.25
node into the network directory. Include entries for all
remote nodes and, if you want to be able to perform
loopback, the local node as well.
Remote IP
address Also in the network directory, you must enter the IP
Address of each node whose identity you have entered
into the network directory. For the format of this
parameter, see the information in the “Fields” section
under “Configure X.25 Network.”
Address key The X.25 address key is the name of a remote node with
which your local node will be communicating.
Hewlett-Packard recommends that you make the name
be the node portion of the remote node’s name (where
its full name is node.domain.organization). You
