Network Port Assignments for UNIX-Client/Server Systems
A UNIX host may use Network Information Services (NIS) to serve the services
file containing its network port assignments.
The Agent must use the services file to determine which network ports to use.
Because of this requirement, you may need to configure your system so that the
Agent can access the proper services file.
You have two options to prevent a conflict between the two possible locations of
the services file. See your particular Agent guide for more information.
DHCP and WINS
SWCC does not support the DHCP or the WINS; however, you can still use these
protocols on systems that do not run the Command Console.
First, verify that your network is running:
■ For Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows Server 2003, run netstat at
the command prompt on the Agent and check the active TCP/IP connections.
■ For UNIX, run netstat with the correct options. Reference netstat man
pages in UNIX help information.
■ For other operating systems, refer to the operating system documentation.
To determine whether your system is using DHCP or WINS on Windows NT 4.0:
1. Right-click Network Neighborhood on the desktop.
2. Select Properties.
3. Click the Protocols tab.
4. Select TCP/IP, and then click Properties. The Microsoft TCP/IP Properties
window opens.
To determine whether your system is using DHCP or WINS on Windows 2000 or
Windows 2003:
1. Right-click My Network Places on your desktop.
2. Select Properties.
3. In the Network and Dial-up Connections window which opens, right-click
the connection to be used by SWCC.
4. Select Properties.
5. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), then click Properties.
