- DTC name
A display-only field. The configuration applies
to the DTC whose name is shown.
- Default Server address
Optional field which is the address of a Domain
Name Server that will be used to resolve ARPA domain names into
an IP address. If this field is configured, then default local domain
must also be configured.
- Backup Server address
Optional field which is the address of a Domain
Name Server that will be used to resolve ARPA domain names if the
Default Server is not available.
- Default Local Domain
Optional field whose value is concatenated with
a name the user provides to generate a fully qualified domain name.
If this field is configured then the Default Server Address must
also be configured.
This field consists of alphanumeric characters separated by
periods. There can be any number of fields, but the total length
can not exceed 50 characters. This field is used by the DTC to generate
a fully qualified Domain Name when a user connects to a ARPA node
from a switched DTC port. Refer to the DTC Technical
Reference manual for further information on how the
DTC uses this field.

 | NOTE: When choosing a domain name, ensure that the same name
is not already in use as an NS nodename. |

When a user connected to the DTC user interface types c[onnect] <nodename>,
The DTC attempts to generate a fully qualified domain name. If the
<nodename>
contains at least one period. The DTC assumes it is already a domain
name and doesn't use this field. Otherwise it concatenates
the <nodename>
with the contents of this field. The DTC then sends a request to
the Default Server to resolve the domain name into an IP address.
- Default IP router address
Optional field which specifies the IP address of
the default router. The router routes outbound packets for destinations
outside the local subnet. The address of the IP router is used for
back-to-back connections or extended switching
configurations.
- Backup IP router address
Optional field which specifies the IP address of
the backup router. The backup router is used if the default router
is not available.
- Subnet mask
Subnet masks are used by IP to check if the packets
should be sent to the destination without routing, or if it should
be routed to a destination network different from the current network
or subnet. The first field must be 255.
If no subnetting is required, use the default 255.000.000.000.
Subnet masks specify how many bits of the IP address to reserve
for subdividing the network into subnets. The initial calculation
is done in binary, with bits reserved for the network and subnet
set to "l"s,
and the bits reserved for the host set to "0"s.
The decimal value is then displayed.
