Node Worksheet Information

Table 4-1 “Configuration Worksheet Information”, has a description of the information that needs to be gathered for the worksheets that are in this chapter. Check the worksheets to see which is the appropriate information to gather. This information is used in the configuration chapters of this manual.

Table 4-1 Configuration Worksheet Information

Field	Screen	Description
Address key	X.25 Virtual Circuit Configuration	In the network directory, the name of each node listed in the remote node name field. HP recommends that you use the node portion of the remote node's node name as the address key.
Card number	X.25 Configuration	Slot number of the DTC/X.25 Network Access card.
DTC node name	X.25 Configuration	Node name of the DTC in the form `node.domain.organization`. Must agree with node name configured through during configuration of the datacommunications and terminal subsystem (DTS). The node name must be entered for each DTC/X.25 network access card that allows system-to-system connections.
Enable ethernet/ Enable IEEE 802.3	LAN Configuration	Both ethernet and IEEE 802.3 are enabled by default. You may disable one or the other but not both (one must be enabled). To disable either ethernet or IEEE 802.3, enter an `N` (no) in the field next to the enable question.
Facility set	X.25 Virtual Circuit Configuration	For SVCs only. A name for a collection of X.25 connection parameters in the network directory. Use the default (STDSFSET) or enter a different name, then go to Facility sets to define parameters. It must match the parameters specified by your network subscription.
IP address	LAN Configuration; Token Ring Configuration; FDDI Configuration; Point-to-Point Configuration; X.25 Configuration	There are two methods of entering an internet protocol (IP) address within NMMGR:
		Enter the fully qualified IP address (for example, Class C, `C 192.191.191 009`). OR Enter only the network (`nnn`) and node (xxx) portions of the IP address as four positive integers between 0 and 255 separated by periods or blanks (for example, `15.123.44.98`). You need not enter the following items as NMMGR will fill these in: Class A, B, C Leading zeros for the network and node portion of the IP address.
		All nodes on the same network must use the same class of IP address. The network portion of the address must be the same for all nodes on the same network.
IP subnet mask	LAN Configuration; Token Ring Configuration; FDDI Configuration; Point-to-Point Configuration; X.25 Configuration	The IP subnet mask is optional. An IP subnet mask is specified in the same format as an IP address. The mask identifies which bits of an IP address will be used to define a subnetwork. For more information refer, to the configuration chapter for the type of link you are configuring.
Link name		The link name represents a hardware interface card. This name must be unique to both the node and the network. The link name can have up to eight alphanumeric characters and the first character must be alphabetic.
(LAN Link name)	LAN Configuration	This represents the LAN card for which you are configuring a link.
(Token Ring Link name)	Token Ring configuration	This represents the Token Ring card for which you are configuring a link.
(FDDI Link name)	FDDI Configuration	This represents the FDDI card for which you are configuring a link.
(100VG-AnyLAN Link name)	LAN Configuration	This represents the 100VG-AnyLAN card for which you are configuring a link.
(100Base-T Link name)	LAN Configuration	This represents the 100Base-T card for which you are configuring a link.
(X.25 Link name)	X.25 Configuration	The name of the link used by X.25 iX System Access. It must match the link name configured during configuration of the datacommunications and terminal subsystem (DTS).
(Point-to-Point Link name)	Point-to-Point Configuration	This represents the PSI card for which you are configuring a link.
Local node name	Main	The node name is the name by which the HP e3000 computer is known in the network. The format of a node name is `nodename.domain.organization` where the total number of characters is 50 or fewer, and each field contains 16 or fewer characters (alphanumeric, underscore, or hyphens). The first character of each field must be alphabetic.
Local domain name	NS Configuration	The name of the system in ARPANET standard format. It is composed of labels, with each label separated by a period. Labels must start with a letter or digit and have as interior characters only letters, digits, hyphens(-), or underbars (_). There may be any number of labels, but the total length of the name, including periods, is limited to 255 characters. (If not using domain names for network access, leave the local node name in this field.)
Network directory name	X.25 Virtual Circuit Configuration	The network directory name must be configured for each new node. The network directory contains information that one node needs in order to communicate with other nodes. The only network directory name supported by HP is `NSDIR.NET.SYS`.
Network Interface (NI) name	LAN Configuration; Token Ring Configuration; FDDI Configuration; Point-to-Point Configuration; X.25 Configuration	The network interface (NI) name is used to easily identify a network interface. The name can be up to eight alphanumeric characters, starting with a letter. The maximum number of NIs that can be configured on a node is 48. If a node interfaces to more than one network, give each NI on that node a unique name. You will use the NI name with the NETCONTROL command to start the transport and network link.
Permanent VC number	X.25 Virtual circuit Configuration	For PVCs only. In the network directory, the number of the permanent virtual circuit on the remote node.
Physical path	Point-to-Point Configuration	This is the location of the programmable serial interface. Refer to Chapter 7 “Configuring a Point-to-Point Node” for further details regarding physical path.
Physical path of LANIC	LAN Configuration	This is the location of the LANIC device adapter card. Refer to the LAN section of Chapter 6 “Configuring a LAN Node” for further details regarding physical path.
Physical path of device adapter	FDDI Configuration	This is the location of the FDDI device adapter card. Refer to the FDDI section of Chapter 6 “Configuring a LAN Node” for further details regarding the physical path.
Physical path of Token Ring device adapter	Token Ring Configuration	This is the location of the Token Ring device adapter card. Refer to the Token Ring section of Chapter 6 “Configuring a LAN Node” for further details regarding physical path.
Proxy node	LAN Configuration	The proxy field is optional. Enter `Y` (yes) only if your network has internetworks (networks with gateways) or non-HP nodes. Establishing a proxy node is a way of placing node name and address mapping information in a single location. For more information, see the configuration chapter for LAN link.
Remote IP address	X.25 Virtual Circuit Configuration	In the network directory, the IP address of each node listed in the remote node name field.
Remote node name	X.25 Virtual Circuit Configuration	In the network directory, the name of each remote X.25 node on the network
Remote X.25 address	X.25 Virtual Circuit Configuration	For SVCs only. In the network directory, the X.25 address of the remote host for X.25 public data networks or private networks.
Security class	X.25 Virtual Circuit Configuration	For SVCs only. In the network directory, the security to be applied for connection establishment with the remote node.
Speed	Point-to-Point Configuration	The line transmission speed is given in bits per second. For direct connect the value must be supported by the cable. Values are 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 56000, and 64000. The default is 56000.
Type	Point-to-Point Configuration	Enter DD (direct dial) if you always want to call the same host over a dial link. If you choose DD the remote host does not have to be adjacent and other nodes can be accessed through the remote host. Enter SD if you want to call more than one adjacent remote node over a dial link without reconfiguring. If you choose SD, no other remote nodes can be accessed through the remote host; it is an end point in the connection. Enter DC if the link is a leased line, private line, or other non-switched link.
