However, there are 5 Node types- Regular, Template, IPC, Router and Advanced. Most LNAs will only need access to the Regular and Template Node types. A Node can be more than one type. This is the most common type of Node. Regular Nodes are used for most computers, printers and networking equipment.
Regular Nodes have one DNS name assigned.
This new Node type does not have an IP address but an address space instead. It was designed for the LNA who administers multiple networks or buildings and does not want to waste IP addresses. All NetDb users with Node record access can also create Nodes of type Template. This Node type reserves a range of addresses to be handed out and is typically used for Shiva Fastpaths and terminal servers. Most LNAs do not have access to this Node type.
