Chapter 20 Configuring Network Management
Configuring the BPX Switch LAN and IP Relay
Configuring the Cisco WAN Manager Workstation
To configure the Cisco WAN Manager workstation, use the following procedure:
Step 1 Contact your System Administrator to obtain IP addresses.
Note For the workstation to use /etc/hosts, it must not be able to access the NIS directory even
though it may be linked to other LANs besides its own local network.
Step 2
Enter physical IP addresses and physical LAN node names (with a letter “p”, for example, such as
“nw1bpx1p”, to differentiate from IP relay name) in /etc/hosts. Also, enter IP relay addresses with actual
configured node names, for example, “nw1bpx1”.

204.179.55.105 nw1axi1
If the workstation is connected to the corporate network for access to hosts on another network, add any
IP addresses and associated names of the hosts that you may want to connect to your workstation,
because the NIS is disabled.
Step 3 Enter the name or IP address of the gateway node in config.sv, using physical LAN name, such as
“nw1bpx1p”.
Note
Normally, a BPX switch is used for the gateway node because of its greater processing power.
