Configuring the Network Directory
Configure Path Report Data for a Node
Step 4. If appropriate for the type of path you are configuring, enter an address
in the Additional Address field. (Type 1 requires no additional
address. Types 2, 5, and 6 require a station address. Type 3 requires an
X.25 address key. See additional explanation under “Fields.”
Step 5. Press the
[Save Data] key.
Step 6. Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 for each path report for the specified node.
If you need to make additional entries in the network directory, press
the [Prior Screen] key to return to the Network Directory Select Node
Name screen. If you have finished making network directory entries,
home the cursor and type EXIT in the command field, then press
[ENTER].
Fields Transport services
These three fields describe the transport services that
should be configured in each path.
TCP TCP must be Y (yes) for all nodes. The
default is Y.
Checksum
for TCP The checksum setting indicates
whether checksumming is optional (N)
or required (Y) for TCP. If this field is
set to N, then the use of checksums is
not requested when communicating
with this node. If this field is set to Y
then checksums are used when
communicating with this node.
Checksumming is required for
communication to non-HP systems. The
default is N.
PXP PXP must be Y (yes) for all nodes. The
default is Y.
Note that the selection of transport services here must match the
settings in the remote node’s configuration file. If the checksum enabled
field in the path NETXPORT.GPROT.TCP of this node is set to Y, then TCP
checksum field in the network directory should also be set to Y.
IP address One IP address should be entered for each network
interface configured on the remote node that is directly
reachable from this node. Each address must match an
IP address configured in the remote node’s
configuration file. The path of the screen in the
configuration file that contains IP addresses is
NETXPORT.NI.
