2. In the IP Network Address fields under the title Configured Reachable
Networks, enter the IP addresses of all the remote networks that can be reached
through the gateway whose IP address is configured in the previous field.
3. The IP subnet mask is optional. If entering one, tab to the next field. In the IP
subnet mask field, enter the number in the same format as an IP address. For details
on deriving an IP subnet mask, refer to the HP 3000/iX Network Planning and
Configuration Guide.
4. In the field labeled Hops, enter the number of hops (full gateways) needed to get to
the target network. Two partner gateway halves count as one hop.
5. Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 for each remote reachable network. If you need to configure
more than 10 networks, press the
[Save Data]
key then press the
[Next Page]
key to
enter more networks.
6. After you have finished entering the IP addresses of all the reachable networks,
press the
[Save Data
] key. Press the
[Next Screen]
key to return to the Neighbor
Gateways screen.
7. Back at the Neighbor Gateways screen, after you have finished adding all of the
neighboring gateways, press the
[Next Screen]
key to return to the X.25 Configuration
screen. Follow instruction 7 in the section in this chapter called “Step 6: Configure
X.25 Network.”
Fields If you have identified any neighbor gateways, then you will also be identifying: 1) the IP
Network Addresses of all of the networks that you can reach through that gateway, and
2) the number of hops (corresponding to the number of gateways) that a packet passes
through to reach a remote network from the local network. Two gateway halves count as
one hop.
