Configuring a Gateway Half
Figure 9-1 Gateway Half Link Screen Flow
Configuring a node as a gateway half requires configuring two separate
network interfaces: one for the interface between the two gateway
halves, and a second for the gateway half’s interface to its home
network.
If this gateway half interfaces to a LAN, Token Ring, FDDI,
100VG-AnyLAN, or 100Base-T network, you should have already
configured its network interface according to the instructions in
Chapter 6 , “Configuring a LAN Node.” If this gateway half interfaces to
a Point-to-Point or X.25 network, you should already have configured
its NI according to instructions in Chapter 7 , “Configuring a
Point-to-Point Node,” and Chapter 8 , “Configuring a X.25 Node,”
respectively. If you have not, do so now and then return to this chapter.
This chapter includes step-by-step instructions to help you perform the
following tasks:
• Begin the configuration process.
• Configure a gatehalf.
Once the above tasks are completed, refer to Chapter 10 , “Validating
