I'm running DECmcc V1.2 on a DECstation 5200. I'm using a local
namespace.
I have three questions to ask, and would appreciate it if someone could
respond.
1) In using Autoconfiguration and Autopology for IP nodes, the manual
says you can specify "permit <address> <mask>" and gives an example of
"permit 16.0.0.0 255.255.0.0". I am not that familiar with IP and was
wondering if the 255.255.0.0 mask meant that "255" meant everything,
ie., for an address of a.b.c.d, all adresses of *.*.0.0 are to be included
in the discovery?
2) Is it possible to rename a domain or an entity, and if so how? For
example, there is a domained named .bldg1, and I want to rename it to
.domain.bldg1. I did create a new domain with the new name I wanted
and copied the old domain to it. It copied the entities, but not the
lines and other text I had created.
3) Is there anyway to display the subdirectories in the local name
space?? I know its possible to display the dns tree in VMS DECmcc.
Thanks,
/Dave

Dave, you probably got an answer some time ago, but for #1 at least...

I believe the answer is yes. 255 means "everything."

"permit 16.20.0.0 255.555.0.0" means allow all nodes 16.20.*.*, not *.*.0.0 as stated in the previous reply. For some arbitrary address, aa.bb.cc.dd, *AND* that address with the mask and compare it to the address part of the permit (or host-permit, or deny or host-deny) If the results are equal, permit (or deny) that address. | |||||
