Map Description
This section contains information that will help you create a network
map.
An accurate network map is essential for administering a Token Ring
network. Such a map should include:
• Approximate dimensions of the building or room containing the
Token Ring network.
• Location of nodes and node connections.
• Hostname of each node.
• Internet Address, Station Address, and Alias of each node (in the
case of gateways, each Token Ring card has its own Internet Address,
Station Address, and Alias).
• Hardware Path of each Token Ring card.
• Version number of the operating system installed on each node.
If you are installing Token Ring/9000, use the Token Ring Network Card
Configuration Worksheet in the Quick Installation Guide to gather
configuration information. Figure B-1 shows an example network map.
