VINES X.25 Configuration

This information represents the following:

Interface

The interface that is configured for X.25.

Remote X.25 Address

The DTE address of the remote server.

Remote Handle

A user-configurable name that uniquely identifies the remote server.

Set

Use the set command to assign network addresses to routers in the VINES network
and to specify the maximum number of client and service nodes.

Syntax:

set

client-node-neighbors ...

network-address ...

routing-table-size ...

service-node-neighbors ...

client-node-neighbors #

Specifies the maximum number of client nodes on your network.
Client-node-neighbors includes all of the nodes on each network directly
connected through the router. The range is 1 to 65535, and the default is
25.

Note: It is recommended that you set this number significantly higher than

the number of nodes in your network. This will enable your network
to continue functioning without reconfiguring and restarting the
routers when additional nodes are added. The increase in this
number depends on the size of your network and the amount of
anticipated growth. As a rule, set client-node-neighbors 25 %
higher than the actual number of client stations on LANs that are
local to the router.

Example:

set client-node-neighbors 20

network-address

hex#

Assigns a network address to each router in the VINES network.

Hex# is a

32-bit hexadecimal value from 30900000 to 3097FFFF.

Example:

set network-address 30922222

routing-table-size

#

Specifies the maximum number of service nodes and routers in the VINES
network. The range is 1 to 65535, and the default is 300.

Note: Make sure that the number you specify is large enough to

accommodate additional VINES servers and 2210s as your network
grows.

Example:

set routing-table-size 250

service-node-neighbors

#

Specifies the maximum number of physical neighbor service nodes. This
