Configure Neighbor Gateways
You need to visit the next two screens only if you are configuring a non-gateway node
that is on the same network as a gateway. In this case, the non-gateway node needs to
know the identity of any neighbor gateway. Neighbor gateways can be either full or half
gateways. (Go back one level by pressing the
[Prior Screen]
key, then select
[Neighbor Gateways]
key).
Gateways that are on the same network are called neighbor gateways. A non-gateway
node on an X.25 network may need to go through a neighbor gateway in order to send
messages to an entirely different network. (Two nodes are on the same network if the
network portion of their IP addresses are the same.) All X.25 nodes that are on the same
network as a neighbor gateway need to know the identity of any neighbor gateways.
When you configure an X.25 node, you enter into its configuration the identity of any
accessible neighbor gateways that share the same network. The identified gateways may
be either full or half gateways.
Identify Neighbor Gateways (If Any Are Present)
NMMGR displays the Neighbor Gateways screen (Figur e6-7) when you press the
[Neighbor Gateways]
key at the X.25 Configuration screen.
