Step 1. In the IP address ﬁeld, enter the internet protocol (IP) address for the

node being conﬁgured. An example of an address is

C 192.191.191 009.

Step 2. The IP subnet mask is optional. If entering one, tab to the IP subnet

mask ﬁeld and enter the number in the same format as an IP address.

Step 3. Move to the Link name ﬁeld. Enter a link name to represent the FDDI

card for which you are conﬁguring a link. This name must be unique to

the node.

Step 4. Tab down to the ﬁeld called Physical Path of FDDI Device

Adapter. Enter the physical path number corresponding to the SPU

slot number where the FDDI device adapter is located.

Step 5. Press the

[Save Data] key to save the FDDI 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
