This software package contains the Base Operating System Network Facilities to provide network support for the operating system. It includes Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), Network File System (NFS), Network Information Services (NIS), UNIX-to-UNIX Copy (UUCP), Async Point to Point (PPP), Asynchronous Terminal Emulator (ATE), and Cache File System (CacheFS).
| Asynchronous Terminal Emulator | bos.net.ate |
This fileset contains the Asynchronous Terminal Emulator program. It supports terminal support over asynchronous lines and xmodem file transfer protocol.
| Network Computing System Version 1.5.1 | bos.net.ncs |
This fileset contains the Network Computing System Version 1.5.1 programs.
| Network File System Application Toolkit | bos.net.nfs.adt |
This fileset contains the Network File System Application Toolkit. It supplies C header files for application development using the Network File System.
| Network File System Client | bos.net.nfs.client |
This fileset contains the Network File System client programs. It supplies support for both NFS server and NFS client.
| IP Level Packet Filtering and Security for IP Version 4 and IP Version 6 | bos.net.ipsec.rte |
This fileset provides a mechanism to ensure data integrity, authentication and privacy through the use of authentication digests and encryption.
| Network File System Server | bos.net.nfs.server |
This fileset contains the Network File System support for the rpcgen program and SunOS diskless client installation.
| Network Information Service Client | bos.net.nis.client |
This fileset contains the Network Information Service client programs.
| Network Information Service Server | bos.net.nis.server |
This fileset contains the Network Information Service server programs.
| Async Point to Point Protocol | bos.net.ppp |
This fileset contains all files and function required to use PPP on AIX. PPP provides AIX with the capability to communicate with other systems over serial lines conforming to IETF RFC's 1661,1662, 1332, and 1334.
| TCP/IP Application Toolkit | bos.net.tcp.adt |
This fileset contains the TCP/IP Application Toolkit. It supplies C header files for application development using TCP/IP.
| TCP/IP Client Support | bos.net.tcp.client |
This fileset contains the TCP/IP client programs. It supplies support for remote login, remote execution and file transfer over ethernet, Token Ring and FDDI interfaces.
| TCP/IP Server | bos.net.tcp.server |
This fileset contains the TCP/IP server programs. It supplies support for domain name servers, time servers and gateways. Also additional network interfaces are supported with this fileset.
| TCP/IP SMIT Support | bos.net.tcp.smit |
This fileset contains the TCP/IP SMIT programs. It allows SMIT support for configuration of TCP/IP applications and network interfaces.
| Unix to Unix Copy Program | bos.net.uucp |
This fileset contains the Unix to Unix copy programs. It allows Unix to Unix file transfer and command submission.
| CacheFS File System | bos.net.nfs.cachefs |
This fileset contains the CacheFS file system, which is a general-purpose file system caching mechanism that improves NFS server performance and scalability by reducing server and network load. Designed as a layered file system, CacheFS provides the ability to cache one file system on another. In an NFS environment, CacheFS increases the client-per-server ratio, reduces server and network loads, and improves performance for clients on slow links, such as Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP). CacheFS is in the bos.net.nfs.cachefs fileset.
The Base Operating System Network Facilities package requires approximately 30.2 MB of disk space.
Install requisite software either before or with the fileset you are installing from this package.
Stop processes before installing this package.
NOTE: If you are installing IP Security (bos.net.ipsec.rte), bos.crypto or bos.crypto-us is necessary for having cryptographic support.
If migrating be sure to save the PPP configuration information in /etc/ppp/lcp_config and /etc/ppp/if_conf.
