Chapter 8  Configuring an X.25 Node  

This chapter provides step-by-step instructions for configuring X.25 iX
System Access for systems using PC-based network management.  This manual
assumes that you are using the guided configuration capabilities of
NMMGR.

Figure 8-1 shows the screen flow for configuring X.25 screens.  Screens
unique to X.25 configuration are indicated by bold boxed screens.
[FUNCTION] denotes the function key used at a screen to invoke the next
screen on the screen flow.

Before using NMMGR to configure a link, you should complete the
worksheets provided.  See chapters 3 and 4 for more information on
planning your configuration and filling out the configuration worksheets.

This chapter includes step-by-step instructions to help you perform the
following tasks:

   *   Begin the configuration process.

   *   Configure an X.25 network interface.

   *   Configure neighbor gateways.

Once the above tasks are completed, refer to chapter 10 for step-by-step
instructions to help you perform the following validation tasks:

   *   Validate the network transport configuration.

   *   Cross-validate in SYSGEN.


NOTE  If you are configuring X.25 iX System Access on a system that is
      using host-based network management (a PC running the HP OpenView
      Network Manager is not part of the network), use Configuring and 
      Managing Host-Based X.25 Links instead of this manual for
      step-by-step configuration instructions.
