Fields
- Gateway name
Enter a name to represent a gateway on this X.25
network through which one or more remote networks can be reached.
A gateway name can contain as many as eight alphanumeric characters;
the first character must be alphabetic. The gateway name is not
the same as the node name of the gateway, however you can use the
node name to make it easier to identify the gateway.
- New name
(Required only when renaming an existing
gateway.) Enter a gateway name to represent a neighbor
gateway. This new gateway name is used in place of the current gateway
name for an existing gateway configuration. The name can contain
as many as eight alphanumeric characters. The first character must
be alphabetic.
