Switch 3 Task — Assign Node Names
This task assigns node names and IP addresses to each node in the network. This 
screen is administered on Switch 3. A Node Names screen must be administered on 
each switch in the network.
The node names and IP addresses in any network should be assigned in a logical and 
consistent manner from the point of view of the whole network. These names and 
addresses should be assigned in the planning stages of the network and should be 
available from the customer system administrator or from a Lucent representative.
Note:Enter node names for Intuity AUDIX and MSA adjuncts on page 1. Enter 
node names for switches, routers, and CMS starting on page 2.

Subnet Mask Enter the subnet mask associated with the IP address for 
this IP interface. (The IP address is associated with the 
node name on the Node Names screen). 
In this example, leave the default subnet mask, 
255.255.255.0, which indicates no subnetting for a Class 
C IP address.
See the discussion of subnetting, Subnetting  (page 16), in 
Chapter 1 and Configuration 1: R8r  R8si  
(page 60) in this chapter for details about subnet masks.
Gateway Addr Leave blank for this configuration. The only connection 
to this IP interface is node-1b on Switch 1, which is on 
the same subnetwork as this IP interface, so no gateway is 
needed.
In general, for connectivity to other (sub)networks, enter 
the address of a network node that will serve as the 
default gateway to the other (sub)networks.
Net Rgn Enter the region number for this IP interface. Field Conditions/Comments
