Configuring and Managing Host-Based X.25 Links - Edition 5 (36939-90054)

Chapter 6 121

Conﬁguring X.25 Links Step-by-Step

Modify the Network Management Conﬁguration File

name, it will be easier to remember if you make the NI

name the same for all nodes on the same network (for

instance, X25net1). You will use the NI name with the

NETCONTROL command to start the transport and

network link.

NOTE

You can have more than one X.25 NIs conﬁgured for the same X.25 card

on one MPE/iX system, but only one can be running at any one time.

Enter a network

type Number that indicates the type of network interface

you are conﬁguring. You must enter a network type if

you are conﬁguring a new network interface. Network

type 3 is the only type used when conﬁguring

host-based X.25 links.

NOTE

The only link protocol that can be used as a gateway half is that of the

NS Point-to-Point 3000/iX link. X.25 iX System Access cannot be

conﬁgured as a gateway half. Yet, these two types of software can

coexist on the same node. To conﬁgure an internetwork gateway half,

refer to the HP 3000/iX Network Planning and Conﬁguration Guide.

Step 6: Conﬁgure X.25 Network

NMMGR displays the X.25 Conﬁguration screen (Figure 6-5) when you

press the

[Conﬁg Network] key at the Network Transport Conﬁguration

screen with an NI type of 3 (X.25).
