Figure 6-13 Point-to-Point Mapping Conﬁguration Screen

The screen following this one allows you to conﬁgure a set of

characteristics for a route from the local node to a remote node.

Mapping is creating a route from this node to any other node in the

network. You create routes by ﬁrst assigning a name to each possible

route from this node. Then you create routes to adjacent and remote

nodes by identifying the adjacent or remote node’s IP address and

which link is used to reach the node.

12 router NI’s are supported per system, depending on the

number of available hardware slots (one NI must be used for

loopback). Each router can have up to 1024 mappings. However,

4096 is the absolute maximum number of unique phone

numbers supported per NMCONFIG File.
