Configuring a X.25 Node
Configure an X.25 Network Interface
Remote node name
You must enter the remote node name of each X.25
node into the network directory. Include entries for all
remote nodes and, if you want to be able to perform
loopback, the local node as well.
Remote IP address
Also in the network directory, you must enter the IP
Address of each node whose identity you have entered
into the network directory. For the format of this
parameter, see the information in the “Fields” section
under “Configure X.25 Network.”
Address key
The X.25 address key is the name of a remote node with
which your local node will be communicating.
Hewlett-Packard recommends that you make the name
be the node portion of the remote node’s name (where
its full name is node.domain.organization). You
must configure an X.25 address key for each remote
node with which your node will be communicating. You
have a combined maximum of 1024 X.25 address keys
in the SVC and PVC path tables. The X.25 address key
name must be eight characters or less and the first
character must be alphabetic. A default address key
called POOL allows any system to access the local
system even if the remote system’s address is not
configured. POOL can also be used when level 3
programmatic access (NetIPC) provides an X.25
address.
Network Interface (NI) name
Display only.
SVC or PVC Parameters
The parameters for assigning either SVCs or PVCs are
described in the following paragraphs.
For SVCs
Remote X.25 address
The remote X.25 address is the remote node’s X.25
address. This address is required for SVCs if you have
specified an X.25 address key. This address must be
15 digits or less.
