Network Name DatabaseThe network name database, NETWORKS.NET.SYS, associates IP addresses with official network names and aliases. This allows the user to refer to a network by a symbolic name instead of an internet address. To configure the network name database, modify the sample file NETSAMP.NET.SYS. Protocol Name DatabaseThe protocol name database PROTOCOL.NET.SYS, associates protocol numbers with official protocol names and aliases. This allows the user to refer to a protocol by a symbolic name instead of a number. The protocol number mappings are defined in RFC 1010 Assigned Numbers. To configure the protocol name database, modify the sample file PROTSAMP.NET.SYS (this is required for FTP use, starting in release 6.0). Service Name DatabaseThe service name database, SERVICES.NET.SYS, associates official service names and aliases with the port number and protocol the services use. Reserved port numbers 0 through 255 are assigned by RFC 1010. To configure the service name database, modify the sample file SERVSAMP.NET.SYS.
