Neighbor Gateways 

The Neighbor Gateways screen (#152) in figure 9-8 is displayed when you
press the [Go To INTERNET] function key at the FDDI Network Interface
Configuration screen (figure 9-3).  It is also displayed when you type
the path name:

@NETXPORT.NI.NIname.INTERNET

in the command window of any screen and press the [Enter] key, where
NIname is a configured FDDI NI.


          Figure 9-8.  Neighbor Gateways 

Use this screen, and the screens that follow it, to identify the gateways
on this network.  Use the fields and the function keys of this select
screen to perform the desired action as follows:

   *   To identify a new gateway, specify the gateway name; then press
       the [Add] function key.  The path for the selected gateway name is
       added to the configuration file, and the data screen on the path
       is displayed.  You may configure up to 14 gateways under an NI. 

   *   To modify an existing gateway configuration, specify the gateway
       name; then press the [Modify] function key.  The data screen on
       the path for the specified gateway is displayed. 

   *   To change the gateway name of an existing gateway, specify the
       gateway name and a new name; then press the [Rename] function key.
       The previously configured name is replaced, and the screen
       displays the new name in a display field under the label
       Configured Gateways. 

   *   To delete an existing gateway, specify the gateway name; then
       press the [Delete] function key.  Press the [Delete] function key
       again to confirm the deletion.  The previously configured name
       (and the associated data) is deleted and is no longer displayed in
       a display field under the label Configured Gateways. 

From this screen you proceed to the screen used to configure network
numbers of all networks reachable from this gateway node.

Fields 

Gateway name          Enter a name to represent a gateway on this FDDI
                      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.

New name              (Required only when renaming.)  Enter a gateway
                      name to represent a 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.
