Neighbor List—Select this field to add, modify, or delete EGP
neighbors. This router attempts to establish a relationship with the
configured EGP neighbors to exchange network reachability
information. Press Ins. Configure the following parameters:
Neighbor's Address—Press Ins to display a list of symbolic
hostnames from the SYS:\ETC\HOSTS file. Select a host here or
enter the address.
Neighbor's Autonomous System—Enter the number of the

Novell TCP/IP allows you to bind more than one IP network to a LAN board.
The networks can operate as separate logical interfaces. The ability to
configure multiple logical interfaces simplifies the task of managing a
growing network in the following ways:
You can merge network when a there is a router failure.
For a description, see
Router Fails" on page
You can move hosts from one IP network to another without losing
connectivity.
For a description, see
You can add new nodes to a nearly full subnet.
For a description, see
To attach more than one IP network to a LAN board, bind IP to the board as
many times as necessary; then supply a different IP address for each network.
Configuring multiple logical interfaces is different from multihoming, which
enables you to bind multiple addresses belonging to the same IP network to
