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 IP 
connection to this IP interface is node-3 on Switch 3. 
Node-3 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

Interface Link This must match the link number assigned on the node-1a

Interface Chan or TCP/IP, interface channel numbers are in the range 5000 
– 64500.
The recommended values are: 5001 for CMS, 5002 for 
Intuity AUDIX, and 5003 for DCS connections that are not 
gateways. These three values should be reused for multiple 
instances of these applications; for example, if there are two 
Intuity AUDIX’s, use 5002 for both; or if there are four 
DEFINITY ECS’s, use 5003 for all four. The combination 
of Link, Interface Channel, and Mach ID must be unique.

Destination Node Name of the far-end node for this channel. This must be a 
name entered on the Node Names screen. For ppp 
connections, it must match the Destination Node Name 
entered on the ppp Data Module screen.
Destination Port A value of 0 allows any available interface channel on the 
destination node to be used for this connection. The 
Interface Channel number for this connection on the 
Switch-2 Processor Channel screen must also be set to 0.
Session - Local The Local and Remote Session numbers can be any value 
between 1 and 256 (si model) or 384 (r model), but they 
must be consistent between endpoints. For each connection, 
the Local Session number on this switch must equal the 
Remote Session number on the remote switch and vice 
versa.
It is allowed, and sometimes convenient, to use the same 
number for the Local and Remote Session numbers. It is 
allowed, but not recommended, to use the same Session 
numbers for two or more connections. Session - Remote
Mach ID Destination switch ID identified on the dial plan of the 
destination switch.

ModeNode-1-eth is the “server” for this session. Set node-3 to 
“client” (c).
Interface Link This must match the link number assigned on the node-1b 
data module screen.
Interface Chan For TCP/IP, interface channel numbers are in the range 
5000 – 64500. The value 5003 is recommended for the DCS 
connections. This number must match the Destination Port 
number on the Switch-2 Processor Channel screen. (Note 
that 5003 can be used for the connections to both Switch 2 
and 3 because they are on different links).
Destination Node Name of the far-end node for this channel. This must be a 
name entered on the Node Names screen. For ppp 
connections, it must match the Destination Node Name 
entered on the ppp Data Module screen.
Destination Port A value of 0 allows any available interface channel on the 
destination node to be used for this connection. The 
Interface Channel number on the Switch-3 Processor 
Channel screen must also be set to 0. Field Conditions/Comments

Switch 2 Task — Assign Node Names
This task assigns node names and IP addresses to each node in the network. This 
screen is administered on Switch 2. 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.
