Use the fields and function keys of the select screen to perform
the desired action. To define a new gateway, specify the
NI name and the NI type GATEWAY;
then press the [Add] function key. The path for
the new NI name is added to the configuration file, and the next
screen for configuring a gateway NI is displayed. Up
to 12 NI's are supported per system (one NI must be used for loopback). To modify an existing gateway NI, specify the NI
name and press the [Modify] function key. The next
screen is displayed with the data for that gateway NI. To change the name of an existing gateway NI, specify
the NI name and a new name and press the [Rename]
function key. The old NI name is replaced and the screen displays
the new name in a display field under the label Configured Network
Interfaces. To delete an existing gateway NI, specify the NI
name and press the [Delete] function key. Press
the [Delete] function key again to confirm the
deletion. The gateway NI (and the associated data) is deleted from
the configuration file and is no longer displayed in a display field
under the label Configured Network Interfaces.

transport protocols and link protocols. It also provides the software
loopback capability. Fields- Network interface name

gateway half.) Enter the current NI name in the network
interface name field. Enter a new NI name in the new name field.
