Drawing a Network Map
This section provides information that prepares you for the actual X.400
configuration. Certain information must be obtained prior to
configuration.
Draw a Map
The first step is to draw a map of your X.400 network showing X.400 Nodes
and/or the HP X.400/HP Desk Nodes and links between those nodes.
The following list describes the type of information that should be on a
network map:
1. Your HP-UX Nodethat contains the X.400 software.
2. Other nodes with MTAs that directly connect to your HP-UX Node.
3. Other HP X.400/HP Desk Nodes(either MPE V or MPE XL) that directly
connect to the X.400 Node over LAN or X.25, if you are configuring
other HP X.400/HP Desk Nodes. You may have up to 200 adjacent
MTAs, HP X.400/HP Desk Nodes, and API clients connected to your
X.400 Node.
4. Links used between X.400 and the adjacent MTAs, and X.25 and/or
LAN. Label each link accordingly.
5. Assign a name to your local MTA that is a printable string (refer
to the "Worksheet Instructions" section of this chapter) of up to
32 characters. The default name is SERVER, but you may change
this name.
6. Assign a name to each adjacent MTAthat is a printable string
(refer to the "Worksheet Instructions" section of this chapter) of
up to 32 characters. If the RTS uses passwords, the name you use
must be the same name used by their MTA.
7. Identify links that exist between adjacent MTAs to indicate
alternate routes a message can follow if a link fails.
8. Assign and label the HP-UX Node with the NS node name (a maximum
of 8 characters) and its MTA name.
9. Assign and label each HP X.400/HP Desk Node with its NS node name
if you are configuring HP X.400/HP Desk Nodes.
10. For X.25 connections, show back-to-back direct connections or X.25
switches used.
