Modifying the /etc/protocols File
The /etc/protocols file associates port numbers with mnemonic names
and alias names. The /etc/protocols file contains the names and
protocol numbers of all protocols known to your local host. The netstat
diagnostic uses the /etc/protocols file. If you install Internet
Services/9000 or NFS/9000, those products will also use the
/etc/protocols file.
NOTE You can modify this file if you have special requirements, but it is
properly configured when you receive the LAN/9000.
/etc/protocols
Each protocol has a one line entry in the /etc/protocols file. Each
entry in /etc/protocols file takes the following form:
Syntax
protocol_name protocol_num [ alias ]...
