Configuring a LAN Node
Configure a Token Ring Network Interface
Step 5. Press the [Save Data] key to save the Token Ring link configuration. If
you need to identify neighbor gateways, press the
[Neighbor Gateways]
key and proceed to the section in the chapter called “To Identify
Neighbor Gateways.” Otherwise, proceed to Chapter 10 , “Validating
and Cross-Validating with SYSGEN,” and press the
[Validate Netxport]
key.
Optional Keys Press the
[List NIs] key to list the names and types of
already configured network interfaces.
Press the [Delete NI] key to remove a configured network
interface from the configuration file.
Press the [Read Other NI] key to call up a previously
configured Network Interface name.

IP address
The IP address is an address of a node on a network. An
IP address has two parts: a network portion and a node
portion. The network portion must be the same for all
nodes on a LAN network; the node portion must be
unique for all nodes on a LAN network.
For Class C, the node portion of the IP address must be between 001
and 254.
If you are adding your NS 3000/iX node to an existing network, the
network portion of each node’s IP address should be the same. You will
have to find out what this is, and use it in the network portion of the IP
address of your NS 3000/iX node. Also, you will need to know the node
portions of the IP addresses of each of the nodes (usually they will be
numbered sequentially, such as 001, 002, and so on), so that you can
specify a unique node portion for the IP address of your node. If you
have a network map, it should provide a record of such items as the
node name and IP address of each node. If there is no record, and if you
want to find out each node’s IP address, you will have to issue the
following command (NM capability required) on each of the nodes:
Class A nnn xxx.xxx.xxx
B nnn.nnn xxx.xxx
C nnn.nnn.nnn xxx
Where: nnn = the network portion of the IP address and
xxx = the node portion of the IP address.
