Internet Protocol Configuration
Internet Protocol information must be supplied for each configured NI.
The key field in the IP Protocol Configuration screen (#156) shown in
Figure 12-5 is the IP internet address, which is used 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.
The IP Protocol Configuration screen is displayed when you press the
[Go To IP] function key at the Protocol Configuration screen (Figure
12-4). It is also displayed when you type the path name:
@NETXPORT.NI. NIname .PROTOCOL.IP
in the command window of any screen and press the
[Enter] key, where
NIname is a configured gateway half NI name.
