4. Enter the node name of the DTC that houses the DTC/X.25 Access card in the first
DTC Node Name field the enter the slot number of the card in the Card Number field.
Enter a link name, DTC node name, and card number for each link you are
configuring.
5. When you are done adding links, press the
[Save Data]
key.
6. If the network that this node is on contains ANY internetwork gateway (either full or
half) press the
[Neighbor Gateways]
key and proceed to the section in this chapter
called “Configure Neighbor Gateways.”
7. If the network that this node is on contains NO internetwork gateways or if you have
already configured gateways for this system, press the
[Config Directry]
key and
proceed to the section in this chapter called “Configure X.25 Virtual Circuits.”
Fields Node name Display only. This is the Local HP 3000 node name.
Network interface (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 an X.25 network; the node portion
must be unique for all nodes on an X.25 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:
Class A: nnn.xxx.xxx.xxx
Class B: nnn.nnn.xxx.xxx
Class C: nnn.nnn.nnn.xxx
Where: nnn = the network portion of the IP address
and
xxx = the node portion of the IP address
Note: A space separates the network and node portions of the IP
address.
For Class C, the node portion of the IP address must be between 000
and 255.
If you are adding your NS 3000/iX node to an existing NS 3000/V
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 address of your NS 3000/iX node. Also, you will need
to know the node portions of the IP addresses of each of the nodes
(usually they will be numbered sequentially, such as 001, 002, and so
on), so that you can specify a unique node portion for the IP address of
your node. If you have a network map, it should provide a record of
such items as the node name and IP address of each node. If there is no
record, and if you want to find out each node’s IP address, you will have
to issue the following command (NM capability required) on each of the
nodes:
NETCONTROL NET=
