Creating an Ethernet SUBNET or ATM SUBNET
SUBNET names are shown in the Name field, the type of the SUBNET configured is
shown in the Type field, and the IP address assigned to the SUBNET is shown in the
IPADDRESS field. As shown in Example 8-2, there is one Ethernet SUBNET (#SN1)
and one ATM SUBNET (#SN2) configured.
You must specify the IP address associated with an Ethernet or ATM SUBNET when
you define the Expand-over-IP line-handler process in Step 4: Create the Line-Handler
Process.
Creating an Ethernet SUBNET or ATM SUBNET
If an Ethernet or ATM SUBNET does not already exist, you can create one using the
SCF ADD SUBNET command. The SCF ADD SUBNET command shown as follows
defines an Ethernet SUBNET named #SN1 for a NonStop TCP/IP process named
$ZTC01. The DEVICENAME modifier specifies the name of the logical interface (LIF)
that is used to communicate with the physical interface (PIF) on an E4SA connected to
the system.
-> ADD SUBNET $ZTC01.#SN1, TYPE ETHERNET, &
DEVICENAME $ZZLAN.LAN0, IPADDRESS 123.45.67.89
The SCF ADD SUBNET command shown as follows defines an ATM SUBNET named
#SN2 for a NonStop TCP/IP process named $ZTC01. The DEVICENAME modifier
specifies the name of an ATM line on an ATM3SA connected to the system.
-> ADD SUBNET $ZTC01.#SN2, TYPE ATM, DEVICENAME $AM1, &
IPADDRESS 172.16.192.200, ARPSERVER ON, ATMSEL 1
After the SUBNET is defined, it must be started using the SCF START SUBNET
command. The SCF START SUBNET command shown as follows starts the SUBNET
named #SN1:
-> START SUBNET $ZTC01.#SN1
For more information about creating SUBNETs, refer to the TCP/IP Configuration and
Management Manual.

Note. You must also perform this step on the destination system before you can define the
local Expand-over-IP line-handler process. The destination IP address must be specified when
the local Expand-over-IP line-handler process is defined.
