Domain Name Services and IP routing are conﬁgured only if you wish

to use DNS to resolve system names when switched DTC ports are

connecting to ARPA (TCP/IP) nodes or when using back-to-back

connections. IP routing is only needed when back-to-back connections

and routers will be used on the network. Do not conﬁgure IP routing if

no routers will be used.
