PROTOCOL File
Sample NETWORKS File: SMPLNETW
The site update tape (SUT) comes with a sample NETWORKS file that is installed into
$SYSTEM.ZTCPIP. The name of this file is SMPLNETW and the contents are shown in
the display:
Modify this file for your environment.
PROTOCOL File
The PROTOCOL file contains the names of the protocols currently supported by the
NonStop TCP/IPv6 software as well as some not currently supported. Applications use
the PROTOCOL file to get protocol names and Internet protocol numbers. When an
application calls the functions getprotobyname or getprotobynumber, the
PROTOCOL file provides this information. You do not need to alter this file.
Each entry has this format:
protocol_name protocol_number PROTOCOL_NAME
where protocol_name is the protocol name in lowercase, protocol_number is the
well-known Internet protocol number and PROTOCOL_NAME is the protocol name in
uppercase. (Because the functions getprotobyname and getprotobynumber are
case sensitive, both uppercase and lowercase representations of the protocol names
are included in the PROTOCOL file.)
