9.1.2.2 Network Objects

The network objects and their attributes reflect the physical characteristics of the

network environment. This information does not affect the running of a physical

network but is used internally by NIM for configuration information.

All the machines and networks environment used in the NIM installation must be

defined in the NIM database. We strongly suggest that you make a drawing of

your networking environment. This will avoid confusion, especially regarding the

gateways.

9.1.2.3 Machine Objects

The machine objects represent the following machine configurations that are

supported in the NIM environment:

 Stand-alone

 Diskless

 Dataless

Each machine object in the NIM database has associated attributes, representing

information about each Client that participates in the NIM environment. This

information includes:

 The type of machine: diskless, dataless or stand-alone

 The hardware address of the Client's network interface

 The TCP/IP host name for the Client

 The name of the network object that represents the network to which the Client

is connected

 The ring speed of the token-ring network or the cable type for the Ethernet

network connection

9.1.2.4 Sample Network Topology

Figure 45 on page 160 shows a network topology example that includes three

networks and two gateways. The NIM Master is connected to

Network 1

, and the

NIM Client (

standalone1

), is connected to

network 3
