Network Working Group Bill Ferguson (SRI-ARC)
Request for Comments: 620 Mar 1974
NIC # 21993
Request for Monitor Host Table Updates
- The ARC/NIC group has successfully been running OFFICE-1 for several
-
- weeks now. Our NIC users have been transferred to that site, and are
-
- receiving all their computation from TYMSHARE. In conjunction with
-
- this change, we would like all sites to change their monitor HOST
-
- tables, effective Friday, March 8, 1974.
-
- The net change we wish to accomplish is the following:
-
- 1) Site 53 (octal) is OFFICE-1
-
- 2) Site 2 is SRI-ARC
-
- 3) The nickname for site 2 is ARC (not NIC)
-
- 4) The nickname for site 53 is NIC
-
- Please note that now that NIC services are available from
-
- OFFICE-1, they rather than SRI-ARC should be accessed over the
-
- network as "NIC".
-
- To effect this change, each TENEX site's monitor host table should be
-
- updated in the following manner. The actual host name section should
-
- contain the following entries (they may already be present).
-
- CC.(2,SR1-ARC,USER!SERVER!TENEX)
-
- CC.(253,TYMSHARE-TIP,USER!TIP)
-
- CC.(53,OFFICE-1,USER!SERVER!TENEX)
-
- Further, the NICKNAME table should contain the following entries.
-
- The entry for NIC should be changed to refer to site 53 (octal), and
-
- a new entry for ARC should be added. Specifically, they are:
-
- CC.(2,ARC,NICKNAME!SERVER!USER!TENEX)
-
- CC.(53,NIC,NICKNAME!SERVER!USER!TENEX)
-
- Other Network sites, not running TENEX, should make these changes in
-
- a manner consistent with their operating system.
-
- As mentioned above, these changes are effective on March 8. We will
-
- inform all our users to use the nickname NiC in reference to OFFICE-1
-
- as of this date. Thank you for your co-operation.
