One of the lines of output from this command tells you what the
complete IP address is for that node; the last three digits are the unique
node portion of the class C address.
IP subnet mask
An IP subnet mask is specified in the same format as
an IP address. The 32-bit mask is grouped in octets
expressed as decimal integers and delimited by either a
period (.) or a space. An IP mask is used when
configuring subnetworks. The mask identifies which
bits of the IP address comprise the network and
subnetwork portion.
Link name
The link name can have up to eight alphanumeric
characters and the first character must be alphabetic.
NOTE
If the same Token Ring card is being used for both NS and SNA
communications, you must use the same name in this field as is
configured for the SNA Link.
Physical path of device adapter
The physical path number corresponds to the slot
location of a node’s device adapter. Recommended slot
locations and physical path calculations vary according
to the type of HP e3000 system you are running.
If you are unsure of the slot location or of the physical
path number to configure for your system, see your
system documentation or consult your Hewlett-Packard
service representative.
For the various platforms, physical path syntax
(examples only) look like:
If you are unsure of the slot location or of the physical
path number to configure for your system, run the
offline ODE MAPPER utility, see your system
documentation, or consult your Hewlett-Packard
service representative.
