IBM RS/6000 - Manual (Page 189)

In our network topology example shown in Figure 46, the NIM Master is connected
to the network
network1, and the NIM Client is connected to the network Network3.
Both networks and their gateways, gw1_tok and gw1_eth, must be defined to the
NIM environment. In the previous step, when the NIM Master was activated,
network1 was defined. Thus, now we only need to define network3 and the
gateways.
Note: Neither network2 nor its gateways, gw2_tok and gw3_tok, need to be
defined.
To perform the definition of network3, use the following command:
smitty nim_mknet
After the SMIT screen appears, enter the required information.

Figure 47. Defining the Third Network
To check to see if you need any other network object definition, you may enter the
command:
lsnim -l network3
network3:
class = networks
type = ent
net_addr = 192.5.73.
snm = 255.255.255.
missing = route to the NIM master
Nstate = information is missing from this object's definition
