Figure 8-5 IP Protocol Configuration Screen
This screen is used to supply IP protocol information for the network
being configured. Each NI has an IP address. The IP Address field is a
key element in IP routing and datagram delivery algorithms. The IP
subnet mask field allows you to identify an IP subnet mask for the NI
named in the path. The store and forward buffers field is useful for
internal resource allocation and performance tuning.
Press the
[Save Data] function key to transfer the data displayed on the
screen to the configuration file you are creating or modifying. Verify
that the data record has been created by checking that the Data flag is
set to Y.
