The following is a description of the information that needs
to be gathered for the worksheets that follow in this chapter. This information
is used for configuring nodes.
- Neighbor Gateway IP Internet Address
This is the IP address of the gateway specified
on the Neighbor Gateways screen. The IP address is in the same format
as the LAN Configuration screen. An example of an address is: C 192.007.007 001
- IP network address
The IP addresses of all the remote networks that
can be reached through the gateway whose IP address is configured
in the previous field. If the gateway node is to serve as a default
gateway, enter an at sign (@) in one of these fields.
- IP mask
The IP mask allows you to specify a subnet mask
for each reachable network. This is in the same format as an IP
address. This mask is optional.
- Hops
This is the number of hops (full gateways) that
a packet travels to reach a remote network from a local network. Two
partner gateway halves count as one hop.
