Conﬁguring a Gateway Half

Conﬁguring a node as a gateway half requires conﬁguring two separate

network interfaces: one for the interface between the two gateway

halves, and a second for the gateway half’s interface to its home

network.

If this gateway half interfaces to a LAN, Token Ring, FDDI,

100VG-AnyLAN, or 100Base-T network, you should have already

conﬁgured its network interface according to the instructions in

Chapter 6, “Conﬁguring a LAN, Token Ring, FDDI, 100VG-AnyLAN,

100Base-T Node.” If this gateway half interfaces to a Point-to-Point or

X.25 network, you should already have conﬁgured its NI according to

instructions in Chapter 7, “Conﬁguring a Point-to-Point Node,” and

Chapter 8, “Conﬁguring an X.25 Node,” respectively. If you have not, do

so now and then return to this chapter.

This chapter includes step-by-step instructions to help you perform the

following tasks:

• Begin the conﬁguration process.

• Conﬁgure a gatehalf.

Once the above tasks are completed, refer to Chapter 10, “Validating

Network Transport and Cross-Validating with SYSGEN,” for

step-by-step instructions to help you perform the following validation

tasks:

• Validate the network transport conﬁguration.

• Cross-validate in SYSGEN.
