Re: [nv-l] name resolution

[Leslie Clark <lclark@us.ibm.com>]

And for your second one, you want it
to consult /etc/hosts before dns, right? So you can edit or create the
file /etc/netsvc.conf and make that say 
 'hosts=local,bind'
The 'bind' means it should consult whatever
dns is defined in your /etc/resolv.conf only after it finds nothing in
/etc/hosts.

Subject	[nv-l] Describe Interfaces

Hi All,
          Im currently running 7.1.4 FixPack2
on AIX 5.2...  During
discovery, all interfaces are identified with an IP address. How or what
do
I change so that they are identified as FastEthernet or Vlan, ect....
Also, how do I force netview to use /etc/host for name resolution?  Do
I
comment out  /etc/resolv.conf?

Thanks, Dave
