The Global Transport Configuration screen (#86) in Figure 4-3 “Global Transport Configuration Screen” is displayed when you
press the [Go To GLOBAL] function key at the Network
Transport Configuration Selection screen (Figure 4-2 “Network Transport Configuration Selection
Screen”). It is also displayed when you type the
path name:
@NETXPORT.GLOBAL
in the command window of any screen and press the [Enter]
key.

This screen lets you enter information that is used for transferring
information between nodes. Press the [Save Data]
function key to transfer the data displayed on the screen to the
configuration file you are creating or updating. Verify that the
data record has been created by checking that the Data flag is set
to Y.
Fields
- Home network name
Leave this field blank if there are no gateway half
network interfaces configured and this node will be on only a single
network. Otherwise, enter the network interface (NI) name of the
network that this node will usually be on.
The home network name is required when configuring a gateway
half to determine the source IP address for packets originating
from the node over the gateway half link. The source IP address
that will be used will be the one configured for the home network
IP protocol.

NETXPORT.NI
NI names are configured here.
- Name search methods and order
The Name search methods and order field is used
to select the method and relative order by which node names (specified
in the DSLINE command and the NetIPC IPCDest
or IPCLookup intrinsics) will be
resolved into network addressing information.
This addressing information is contained in a structure called a
path report.
The search order will be checked against the capabilities
of the node and search methods will be ignored if they are not appropriate
for the node. If all choices fail (or are omitted), the network
will attempt to resolve the address using the domain name resolver.
The available search methods are as follows:
- 0 =
Choice Omitted. Enter a 0
if you want to omit one or more of the name search methods. If
you enter 0s in all three fields, all three choices are omitted.
In this case, the network will try to resolve the address using
the domain name resolver.
- 1 =
Network directory. Enter
a 1 to specify that the network should attempt to resolve the address
via a search of the network directory.
- 2 =
Probe. Enter a 2 to indicate
that the network should attempt to resolve the address using the
probe protocol.
- 3 =
Probe proxy. Enter a 3 to
indicate that the network should attempt to resolve the address
via the network directory configured on the proxy node, if a proxy
node exists.
Default value: 2, 3, 1 (Probe, Probe Proxy, Network Directory)
Range: 0-3

 | NOTE: If you are using domain names, the domain name can be
resolved via either the domain name resolver or host tables. See
the HP 3000/iX Network Planning and Configuration Guide
for more information on domain names. |

- Maximum inbound buffer memory (in kilobytes)
This configures the amount of memory used to store
incoming data. NS divides this number by the inbound buffer size
configured for the link to calculate the number of inbound buffers
to allocate. HP recommends you use the default.
Default value: 256
Range: 128-512
