Point-to-Point (Router) Network Interface Configuration Screens
Point-to-Point Mapping Configuration
Note that you do not need to configure alternate routes to nodes B and
C; however, you can configure the routes listed above (A-C-D-B and
A-B-D-C) to provide alternate paths if the link used for the primary
route fails.
Use the fields and the function keys of this select screen to perform the
desired action, as follows:
• To define a new mapping configuration, specify a name for the route
(in the route name field) and press the
[Add] function key. The path
for the selected route is added to the configuration file, and NMMGR
displays a mapping data screen (called the Point-to-Point Reachable
Nodes screen). This screen must be configured to define the specified
route.
• To modify an existing mapping configuration, specify the name of the
route (route name) and press the
[Modify] function key. NMMGR
displays the Point-to-Point Reachable Nodes screen with the data
corresponding to the specified route name.
• To change the name of an existing mapping configuration, specify
the existing route name and a new name and press the
[Rename]
function key. The previously configured name is replaced, and the
new name is displayed under the heading “Configured Mappings.”
• To delete an existing mapping configuration, specify the existing
route name and press the
[Delete] function key. Press the [Delete]
function key again to confirm the deletion. The previously configured
name is deleted and is no longer displayed in a field under the
heading “Configured Mappings.”
Fields Route name Enter a name to represent a route between the node
you are configuring and another node on the
point-to-point network. This name can contain as many
as eight alphanumeric characters; the first character
must be alphabetic. To help keep track of routes you
can use the destination node name as the route name.
If you have more than one route to a given node, you
can name the routes nodename1, nodename2, and so
forth.
New name (Required only when renaming a route.) Enter a
new route name. This new name is used in place of the
current name for an existing route. The name can
contain as many as eight alphanumeric characters. The
first character must be alphabetic.
