10.2.5 Viewing the Path of an Indirect Link between Domains
The more hops between two indirectly linked domains, the longer it takes a message to travel
between them. To make sure the number of hops between two indirectly linked domains is as small

ConsoleOne.
After starting the Link Configuration tool:

Select a domain from the drop-down list.
