Configuring a X.25 Node
Configure Neighbor Gateways
Configure Neighbor Gateways
Use the next two screens only if you are configuring a node that is on an
an X.25 network as a gateway. In this case, the local node needs to know
the identity of any neighbor gateways.
Gateways that are on the same network are called neighbor
gateways. A non-gateway node on an X.25 network may need to go
through a neighbor gateway in order to send messages to an entirely
different network. (Two nodes are on the same network if the network
portion of their IP addresses are the same.) If a node on the X.25
network is trying to access a node on a remote network, it needs to
know the identity of its neighbor gateways. When you configure an X.25
node, you enter into its configuration the identity of any accessible
neighbor gateways that share the same network. The identified
gateways may be either full or half gateways.
You may designate gateways as default gateways. Messages for a
network will be routed to a default gateway if there is no specific
gateway configured for the destination network. The default gateway
will then attempt to locate the destination of the message.
