information. Press Ins. Configure the following parameters:
Neighbor's Address—Press Ins to display a list of symbolic
hostnames from the SYS:\ETC\HOSTS file. Select a host here or
enter the address.
Neighbor's Autonomous System—Enter the number of the

Configuring Multiple Logical Interfaces
Novell TCP/IP allows you to bind more than one IP network to a LAN board.
The networks can operate as separate logical interfaces. The ability to
configure multiple logical interfaces simplifies the task of managing a
growing network in the following ways:
 You can merge network when a there is a router failure.
For a description, see “Merging Two Networks When the Connecting
Router Fails” on page 85.
 You can move hosts from one IP network to another without losing
connectivity.
For a description, see “Reassigning IP Addresses” on page 86.
 You can add new nodes to a nearly full subnet.
For a description, see “Adding New Nodes to a Full Subnet” on page 86.
To attach more than one IP network to a LAN board, bind IP to the board as
many times as necessary; then supply a different IP address for each network.
Configuring multiple logical interfaces is different from multihoming, which
enables you to bind multiple addresses belonging to the same IP network to
