Conﬁguring a LAN, Token Ring, FDDI, 100VG-AnyLAN, 100Base-T Node

To Conﬁgure a LAN Network Interface

Step 6. Tab down to the ﬁeld called Enable Ethernet (Y/N). By default,

ethernet is enabled. Change the ﬁeld to N if you do not want ethernet

enabled.

Step 7. Tab down to ﬁeld called Enable IEEE 802.3 (Y/N). By default,

IEEE 802.3 is enabled. Change the ﬁeld to N if you do not want

IEEE 802.3 enabled.

Step 8. Press the

[Save Data] key to save the LAN link conﬁguration. If you

need to identify neighbor gateways, press the

[Neighbor Gateways] key

and proceed to the section in this chapter called “To Identify Neighbor

Gateways.” Otherwise, proceed to Chapter 10, “Validating Network

Transport and Cross-Validating with SYSGEN,” and press the

[Validate Netxport] key.

Optional Keys

Press the

[List NIs] key to list the names and types of

already conﬁgured network interfaces.

Press the [Delete NI] key to remove a conﬁgured network

interface from the conﬁguration ﬁle.

Press the [Read Other NI] key to call up a previously

conﬁgured Network Interface name.

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 a LAN network; the node portion must be

unique for all nodes on a LAN network.

There are two methods of entering an internet protocol (IP) address

within NMMGR:

1. Enter the fully qualiﬁed IP address (for example, Class C,

C 192.191.191 009).

2. Enter only the network (nnn) and node (xxx) portions of the IP

address as four positive integers between 0 and 255 separated by

periods or blanks (for example, 15.123.44.98).

You need not enter the following items as NMMGR will ﬁll these in:

• Class A, B, C

• Leading zeros for the network and node portion of the IP address.
