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

Chapter 6 131
Configuring X.25 Links Step-by-Step
Configure Neighbor Gateways
2. In the IP Network Address fields under the title Configured
Reachable Networks, enter the IP addresses of all the remote
networks that can be reached through the gateway whose IP address
is configured in the previous field.
3. The IP subnet mask is optional. If entering one, tab to the next field.
In the IP subnet mask field, enter the number in the same format as
an IP address. For details on deriving an IP subnet mask, refer to
the HP 3000/iX Network Planning and Configuration Guide.
4. In the field labeled Hops, enter the number of hops (full gateways)
needed to get to the target network. Two partner gateway halves
count as one hop.
5. Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 for each remote reachable network. If you
need to configure more than 10 networks, press the
[Save Data] key
then press the
[Next Page] key to enter more networks.
6. After you have finished entering the IP addresses of all the
reachable networks, press the [Save Data] key. Press the [Next Screen]
key to return to the Neighbor Gateways screen.
7. Back at the Neighbor Gateways screen, after you have finished
adding all of the neighboring gateways, press the [Next Screen] key to
return to the X.25 Configuration screen. Follow instruction 7 in the
section in this chapter called “Step 6: Configure X.25 Network.”
Fields If you have identified any neighbor gateways, then you will also be
identifying: 1) the IP Network Addresses of all of the networks that you
can reach through that gateway, and 2) the number of hops
(corresponding to the number of gateways) that a packet passes
through to reach a remote network from the local network. Two
gateway halves count as one hop.
