Configuring Advanced Server for UNIX Configuring NetBIOS

Product Manual U7613-J-Z815-6-76

Occasionally it may be helpful to be able to dynamically add and delete certain NetBIOS

names from the internal name tables without reloading the complete names.cfg file. This can

be accomplished by the

addname and delname commands:

The addname command dynamically adds one or more NetBIOS names to the local name

table of NetBIOS.

Syntax:

/var/opt/nbrfc/bin/addname <NetBIOS name> <IP address> UN | GR [Ext1[ Ext2 ...]]

Options:

All options correspond directly to the syntax of the names.cfg file (see section “The

names.cfg file“). The only exception is that the list of NetBIOS name extensions is

separated by blanks and does not start with a number sign (#).

Example:

/var/opt/nbrfc/bin/addname TRUSTEDDOM.DOM 144.145.47.101 UN 1B

Name mappings added with the addname command do no longer exist after

NetBIOS is restarted. Use the names.cfg file if you want to establish permanent

name mappings. Please note that the number of names that can be stored in the

local name table depends on the NBMAXNAMES parameter.

The delname command deletes one or more NetBIOS name from the local name table.

Syntax:

/var/opt/nbrfc/bin/delname <index1> [ <index2> ...]

Parameters:

<index1> [ <index2> ...]

To specify the NetBIOS names to be deleted, first use the internal nbrfcdiag -n command to

get a listing of the local name table. Use the internal index from the first column of this list

as parameters to the delname command.

Note that while the internal nbrfcdiag -n command lists both dynamic and static names, the

delname command can only be used to delete static names (those listed as STATIC).
