Configuring a Point-to-Point Node
Configure a Point-to-Point Network Interface
space. An IP mask is used when
configuring subnetworks. The mask
identifies which bits of an IP address
will be used to define a subnetwork. To
determine these bits, you first need to
estimate how many subnetworks and
nodes per subnetwork you need. See
Chapter 2 , “Networking Concepts,” for
details on deriving an IP subnet mask.
Link Name The link name can have up to eight
alphanumeric characters and the first
character must be alphabetic.
Physical Path The physical path number corresponds
to the slot location of a node’s
programmable serial interface (PSI)
card, and LAPBMUX card (ACC).
Recommended slot locations and
physical path calculations vary
according to the type of HP e3000
system you are running.
For the various platforms, physical
path syntax (examples only) look like:
If you are unsure of the slot location or
of the physical path number to
configure for your system, run the
offline ODE MAPPER utility, see your
system documentation, or consult your
Hewlett-Packard service
representative.
Speed The line transmission speed is given in
bits per second. For direct connect the
value, must be supported by the cable.
Values are 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600,
19200, 38400, 56000, and 64000. The
default is 56000.
