Diskless and dataless clients cannot be associated with Generic networks, since they inherently rely on network boot capability. Defining NIM Networks Networks are defined in the NIM environment using the NIM define operation. If the network address is not known, see Determining a Network's IP Address . Value Specifies the subnet mask for the network. NetworkType Specifies the type of network being defined.
Valid values are atm , tok , ent , fddi , and generic .
Value Specifies IEEE 802.3 ethernet configuration. Each NIM network is used to represent one logical network that exists in the NIM environment. When the network is defined, the type of network interface used in the network must be supplied. Usually, a network is composed of only one type. However, a bridge can be used to connect different network types together to form one logical network.
