| Text: | This guide describes the software that implements OSI network services on Silicon Graphics systems and explains how to use the network management tools that the IRIS Transport Services product offers. The guide is especially suited to network administrators who are new to OSI. It contains illustrated examples of the OSI protocol stacks that are configurable with Transport Services modules and clearly explains the services implemented by each stack configuration. It also explains how to select protocol combinations to achieve specific connectivity requirements and provides instructions for using configuration, monitoring, and testing tools that are clear, easy to understand, and illustrated with examples. The purpose of each tool and its effect on the software configuration are clearly described, so that new OSI network administrators can set up and manage a network with confidence. |
