Configuring Hosts and Servers
subnet ipaddr
...
end
The lines enclosed by the subnet...end block are to be used only by Model 5390 servers on the
subnet or network with the IP address ipaddr. Any routes enclosed by the subnet...end block are
cached. An else keyword can also be used (alone on a line) to list configuration information for all
subnets/networks except the one identified on the subnet line. You cannot nest subnet...end blocks.
The following are sample subnet...end blocks:
subnet 132.245.33.0
route add default 132.245.33.22 1
end
subnet 132.245.66.0
route add –h default 132.245.66.22.1
end
In the sample above, the first default route applies to all Model 5390 servers on subnet 132.245.33.0.
The route is not hardwired, so it can be replaced by a default route learned by RIP or defined
elsewhere. The second default route will never be replaced (unless you change it) because it is
specified as hardwired ( h)

The Model 5390 server logs errors in gateway entries if syslogging is enabled. For more details on
event logging, see Creating User Password Files on page A15-11. The syslog_mask parameter
determines the priority levels for logging these event messages (see syslog_mask on page C2-61).
For information on SLIP links, see Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) starting on page A7-1.
For information on PPP links, see Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) starting on page A8-1.
For information regarding keywords for configuring the SNMP agent, see SNMP Management
Stations on page B2-2.
Loading the Host Table from the Configuration File
When the Model 5390 server boots, it adds the host name entries in the gateway section of the
configuration file to the host table. These entries live in the host table until a name server overrides
the entries' information or until the administrator resets the Model 5390 name server via the na or
admin commands. These entries are similar to the /etc/hosts file entries, except aliasing is not
supported.
