9 Configuring a Gateway Half
This chapter describes how to plan and configure the interface between
one gateway half and another gateway half. Gateway halves is one of
the early technologies used to connect two separate networks. For
information on configuring a node as a gateway half, use this manual.
Gateways are rarely used since the introduction of routers and the
internet.
Configuring a node as a gateway half requires configuring two separate
network interfaces: one for the serial interface to the remote side of the
gateway half, and a second for the gateway half’s interface to its home
network (for example, a LAN or point-to-point network).
Before configuring a gatehalf, you should have already configured its
home network interface, according to instructions in other chapters of
this manual.
Figure 9-1 shows the screen flow for configuring gateway half screens.
Screens unique to gateway half configuration are indicated by bold
boxed screens.
[FUNCTION] denotes the function key used at a screen to
