Switch Link Configuration
The switch link configuration screen is used to create multiple link
definitions. Links can be live or simulated. (See Section 6 for informa-
tion on defining switch links.)
Partition Configuration
When the network feature is enabled, you can define two types of par-
titions: local and NAP.
Local partitions are partitions located on the physical node that store
MIS data (same as the partitions defined in Release 3.x). These parti-
tions can operate in one of four modes: Startup, Training, Precut, and
Product. A node can have up to multiple partitions, each partition op-
erating in a different node. Local partitions have access to local data
only. Use the procedures in Sections 6 and 7 to define local partitions.
NAPs are partitions that are used to access other partitions in the net-
work. NAPs can only be added if the Networking feature is enabled
and the maximum number of NAPs is set greater than zero. Unlike
local partitions, NAPs do not receive data from switch, do not store da-
ta, and therefore do not require any data storage parameters. A NAP
must be defined to access network MIS data. NAPs can only be added
to a Network Node. The process for defining NAPs and establishing
networks is described in this section.

The maximum number of
partitions is set at the time
of purchase and the instal-
lation of the customer op-
tions tape.
