The last line of output from this command tells you what the complete
IP address is for that node; the last three digits are the unique node
portion of the address.
IP subnet mask An IP subnet mask is specified in the same format as an IP address.
The 32-bit mask is grouped in octets expressed as decimal integers and
delimited by either a period (.) or a space. An IP mask is used when
configuring subnetworks. The mask identifies which bits of an IP
address will be used to define a subnetwork. To determine these bits,
you first need to estimate how many subnetworks and nodes per
subnetwork you need. For details on deriving an IP subnet mask, refer
to the HP 3000/iX Network Planning and Configuration Guide.
Link Name The link name identifies a specific DTC/X.25 Network Access card to
be used for X.25 system-to-system connections. This link name must be
the same as the link name you entered for this card on the DTC X.25
Card Configuration — Sys-to-Sys LUGs screen when you configured
your DTCs, see Chapter 3, “Configuring DTCs Step-by-Step.”
DTC Node Name The DTC node name is the fully qualified nodename
(
name.domain.organization
) of the DTC that contains the DTC/X.25
Network Access card with the configured link name.
Card Number The DTC card number is the number of the DTC/X.25 Network Access
card in the associated DTC. If the card is contained in a DTC 48, the
DTC card number can be any number from 1 to 5. If the card is
contained in a DTC 16, the card number must be 2. If the card is
contained in a DTC 72, the DTC card number can be any number from
0 to 3.
