Fields configuration
file name The only configuration file name the system recognizes
for use by the network subsystem is
NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS. You can, however, create or
modify a configuration file using a different name and
save it as an offline configuration file. You can use
offline configuration files as a means of creating and
storing configurations that you want to use in the
future or that you are preparing for use on a different
system. When you are ready to use an offline
configuration file, rename it as NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS
and reboot the system. (Keep in mind that any file you
use as a configuration file must be successfully
validated before you try to use it.)
