Preparing to Configure X.25 iX System Access
Plan the Network Configuration
Plan the Network Configuration
Before you begin the process of configuring the X.25 iX System Access
link, you must define the physical layout and configuration parameters
for the system-to- system network connections that will be required for
the system you are configuring. Once you have determined what the
configuration should be, you can begin the process of entering the
configuration values into NMMGR.
Configuration values that you must determine include a network
interface name and type and an address for the system being
configured. You must also determine whether any of the nodes on your
network are gateway nodes, and identify neighbor gateways.
Table 5-1 shows the configuration values that you will need to enter,
along with the screen on which each is entered. The parameters are
listed in alphabetical order.
NOTE This manual assumes the use of the guided configuration branch. Only
the parameters configured during guided configuration are listed.
