NETWORKS File
Using the Domain Name resolver is the preferred way of resolving names on the
network. If a name server is not available on the network, use a HOSTS or IPNODES
file, as described earlier.
Sample RESCONF File: SMPLRESC
The site update tape (SUT) comes with a sample RESCONF file that is installed into
$SYSTEM.ZTCPIP. The name of this file is SMPLRESC and the contents are shown in
the display:
Modify this file for your environment.
NETWORKS File
The NETWORKS file lists the names, numbers, and aliases of networks known to the
current host. This file converts an Internet network address to a symbolic name.
Applications use this file when they call a getnetbyaddr or a getnetbyname
function. The NETWORKS file included with the NonStop TCP/IPv6 software is a
prototype; you should customize this file.
Each entry of the NETWORKS file has this format:
network_name network_number [alias...]
where network_name is an alphanumeric name, network_number is the assigned
network number, and alias is an alphanumeric name.
The alias is optional for each network, and each network can have more than one
alias. The aliases for each network must be on the same entry line and separated by
spaces.
Note. All DNS name servers listed in the RESCONF file must have IPv4 addresses. Name
servers with IPv6 addresses are not supported.
