Since the virtual network requires a unique IP address, you must type this address in the networks database. For example, the network shown in Figure 11-2 has the number 192.41.47. Moreover, if the hosts on the network need to communicate with other networks, you should register the network with the InterNIC addressing authority. See Chapter 4, Configuring TCP/IP on the Network, for information on editing the networks database.
Each host on the virtual network must have an entry with the network's address in the /etc/inet/networks file. For example, each host on network 192.41.47 might have the following in /etc/inet/networks:
# Internet networks # # arpanet 10 arpa # ucb-ether 46 ucbether # # local networks loopback 127 ppp 192.41.47 #remote sales offices |
