Editing a Local Device
To edit a local device, complete the following tasks:
Configuring Predefined MACs and Names
Bay Networks routers in your network learn about the locations of remote
NetBIOS and SNA systems that are accessible through DLSw services in two
ways:
• Through a dynamic process, where DLSw inspects incoming frames to learn
the location of remote endstations. This is a DLSw default mechanism.
• Through static definitions where the network administrator defines the
location of NetBIOS and SNA systems attached to remote LANs. Static
definitions are never required, but may be used to reduce the amount of
broadcast messages traversing the network.
Dynamically Learned Remote Systems
Bay Networks routers cache (dynamically learn) the MAC address and NetBIOS
name of remote systems.
