Description
and Use
233
LAN: NAME SER
VER IP ADDRESS
The
name server is used to determine the IP address of a node, given its ASCII
host name. The ASCII host name is used to identify a node with a symbolic name,
so that hard-coded IP addresses are not used. This entry is optional and need not be
configured if all nodes are known by their IP addresses.
The IP address of the name server must be of the form M.N.O.P, where
M = 1–223; N and O = 0–255, and P = 1–254.
.
This is the name server in the data network (LAN), not the Octel Overture
200/300 Netnames or Dial-by-Name directory
.
234 LAN:
GA
TEWA
Y IP ADDRESS
The
gateway unit connects two or more LANs and is used only if the message
server needs to communicate with another message server on a dif
ferent network.
A typical example would be a W
ide Area Network (W
AN) connection. If a
gateway is used, its IP address must be configured here.
An IP address must be of the form M.N.O.P
, where M = 1–223; N and O = 0–255,
and P = 1–254.
.
This is the gateway unit in the data network (LAN), not to be confused with
the other types of the gateways, such as gateway unit used to connect V
isual
Mailbox users from the Entryworks ACP board to the LAN or message
servers used as message gateways, or the OctelAccess server link.
System Parameters 235–240 and 242 are optional.
These system parameters are only required when
accessing an existing LAN network and are used only if SNMP is to be used. The SNMP is not required
to support a dedicated LAN that connects only Octel Overture 200/300 message servers.
.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a standard protocol that allows a network
administrator on the LAN data network to request information from servers attached to the LAN
for the purposes of troubleshooting and network management. The SNMP management application
is typically an of
f-the-shelf software package run by a network administrator or technician on a
workstation or PC-compatible. Contact your network administrator to determine whether SNMP
management tools are available and how they could be useful. Refer to Appendix B, Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP), for additional information.
