Sample Network

Figure 4-1 shows the hosts of a fictional network with the network number 192.9.200. The network includes one network configuration server, the machine sahara. It serves the diskless client ahaggar. Machines tenere and nubian have their own disks and run in local files mode. Machine faiyum also has a disk but operates in network client mode.

Finally, the machine timbuktu is configured as a router. It includes two network interfaces, one named timbuktu on network 192.9.200 and one named timbuktu-201 on network 192.9.201. Both networks are in the organizational domain deserts.worldwide.com. The domain uses local files as its name service.

Most examples in this chapter use the network shown in Figure 4-1 as their basis.
