LAN Network Interface Configuration Screens
Neighbor Gateway Reachable Networks
The network address (network portion of the IP
address) configured in
NETXPORT.NI.NIname.PROTOCOL.IP must match the
neighbor gateway IP internet address configured in the
current screen.
Default value: None
Configured reachable networks IP network address
Enter the internet addresses of the remote networks
that can be reached through the gateway whose
network address is configured in the previous field.
You can also designate this gateway as a default
gateway by entering an “at” sign (@) in one of the
Configured reachable networks IP network
address fields. The network will route messages to the
default gateway if it is unable to locate their
destination by any other means. The default gateway
will then attempt to locate the destination.
When specifying reachable networks, entering only the
network portions, and optionally the subnet, of the IP
address (setting the node portion to all zeros) allows
this node to communicate with any other node on the
remote network.
If the remote network is subnetted, you can restrict
communication of this node to particular subnets by
entering the decimal equivalent of those subnets and
including the IP mask in the IP mask field.
To allow this node to communicate with other subnets
on the local network, enter the decimal equivalent of
the subnet in the IP network address field and enter
the subnet mask in the IP mask field. If you do not
enter a subnet mask one of the following occurs:
• If the IP address is the same as the node you are
configuring, the IP mask entered in the IP Protocol
Configuration screen (Figure 5-5) is used.
• If the IP address is different from the node you are
configuring, NMMGR assumes no subnetting.

• NETXPORT.NI.NIname.INTERNET
This path name corresponds to the Neighbor
Gateways screen. A Neighbor Gateway Reachable
Networks screen must be configured for each
gateway configured in the Neighbor Gateways
