Fields

Link name

Enter the link name from the link configuration of a gateway half; this enables the network transport to associate the correct link with the gateway half network interface. The name can contain as many as eight alphanumeric characters, and the first character must be alphabetic. The link name is used by the network transport when establishing connections and must match the link name configured for the link configuration of a gateway half. Note that only one gateway-half NI may be configured per network.
