<p>The Create Network Server Description (CRTNWSD) command creates a description for a network server. The description includes server software parameters, network protocol descriptions and definition of attached communications equipment (for example, line descriptions).
</p>
<p>This command should be run from the Configure Network Server (CFGNWS) menu, which includes all of the steps needed to create an initial server configuration.
</p>
<p>More information about using this command is in the Communications Configuration book, SC41-5401
</p>
<p>More information about using this command when <b>Server connection</b> specified *IXSVR and <b>Server operating system</b> specified *WIN32 for the <b>Network server type (TYPE)</b> parameter can be found in the Windows environment on iSeries information in iSeries Information Center at http://www.iseries.ibm.com/infocenter.
</p>
<p><b>Restrictions:</b>
</p>
<ul>
<li>You must have input/output system configuration (*IOSYSCFG) special authority to use this command.
</li>
</ul>

An internet address that has a binary value of all ones or all binary zeros for the network identifier (ID) portion or the host ID portion of the Internet address is not valid.

<h3>TCP/IP route configuration (TCPRTE)</h3>
<p>Specifies routes to remote destination systems or networks to the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) configuration for the network server. A route specification has three elements: the route destination, the subnet mask, and the next hop internet address. A maximum of 24 route specifications can be specified.
</p>
<p>
<b>Note: </b>This parameter will be ignored when <b>Server connection</b> specified *IXSVR or *ISCSI for the <b>Network server type (TYPE)</b> parameter.
</p>
<p>Two values uniquely define a route. They are the route destination field and the subnet mask. For *DFTROUTE values, the next hop element uniquely defines the route.
</p>
<p><b>Single values</b>
</p>
<dl>
<dt><b><u>*NONE</u></b></dt>
<dd>There is no routing specification needed for the network server. *NONE must be specified when TCPPORTCFG(*NONE) is specified. *NONE may be specified if there is no need for route specifications.
</dd>
</dl>
<p><b>Element 1: Route destination</b>
</p>
<p>Specifies the remote network or host that is being added. The user must specify all four bytes that make up an internet address though some of the bytes may be equal to 0. For example, a route to all the hosts on the 9.5.11 subnet is identified by entering 9.5.11.0 for the route destination. Used in combination with a subnet mask, the route destination will identify a route to a network or system.
</p>
<dl>
<dt><b>*DFTROUTE</b></dt>
<dd>A TCP/IP default route is being added. A default route entry is used by the system to route data that is being sent to an undefined network or system. Multiple *DFTROUTE entries may be specified. The *DFTROUTE entries are used in the order specified. If a particular next hop gateway on a *DFTROUTE entry is not available, then the subsequent *DFTROUTE entry's next hop gateway specified will be used. This will continue until a *DFTROUTE entry's gateway is found that is active or the list of next hop gateway values is exhausted.
</dd>
<dt><b><i>character-value</i></b></dt>
<dd>Specify the route destination being added. The route destination can be specified in the form, <i>nnn.0.0.0</i> for Class A, <i>nnn.nnn.0.0</i> for Class B, and <i>nnn.nnn.nnn.0</i> for Class C, or <i>nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn</i> for any combination thereof, where <i>nnn</i> is a decimal number ranging from 0 through 255.
<p>
<b>Note: </b>Any combination thereof means that you may specify a route, such as 9.5.0.0 to the hosts on the 9.5 subnet even though all 9.5.x.x addresses are class A network addresses.
</p>
<p>Exceptions:
</p>
<ul>
<li>The first byte (octet) must be greater than 0 and less than 255
</li>
<li>The last byte (octet) may not equal 255.
</li>
<li>The last byte (octet) may not equal 0 if *HOST is specified for the SUBNETMASK value.
</li>
<li>Routes to a broadcast address are not allowed.
</li>
</ul>
</dd>
</dl>
<p><b>Element 2: Subnet mask</b>
</p>
<p>A subnet mask value must be specified if *DFTROUTE or a route destination is entered for the route destination element. Subnet mask specifies a bit mask that identifies to TCP/IP which bits of the value specified for the route destination compose the network and subnet portions of the internet address. The subnet is identified by combining the route destination internet address and the subnet mask.
</p>
<dl>
<dt><b>*NONE</b></dt>
<dd>There is no subnet mask. If *DFTROUTE is specified in the route destination element, then *NONE must be specified. *NONE is valid only for the *DFTROUTE route destination value.
</dd>
<dt><b>*HOST</b></dt>
<dd>The internet address value specified in the route destination field is a host address. The subnetmask value is calculated to be 255.255.255.255.
</dd>
<dt><b><i>character-value</i></b></dt>
<dd>Specify the mask of the subnet field. The internet address is in the form, <i>nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn</i>, where <i>nnn</i> is a decimal number ranging from 0 through 255. For example, a destination route's internet address value of 129.35.11.0 is a Class B subnet. The network ID part of its address is 129.35. The upper 2 bytes must designate 255 in the subnet mask, for example, the subnet mask must appear like 255.255.x.x, where x is determined by the user. The portion of the subnet mask which is associated with the network portion of a particular class of address must equal 255.
</dd>
</dl>
<p><b>Element 3: Next hop</b>
</p>
<p>The next hop value specifies the internet address of the next system (gateway) on the route. A route cannot be added unless the internet address specified by the next hop element is directly reachable through a network associated with one of the network server ports.
</p>
<p>See the <i>Fastpath for TCP/IP</i> book for general information about internet addresses.
</p>
<dl>
<dt><b><i>character-value</i></b></dt>
<dd>Specify the internet address of the next system on the route in the form, <i>nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn</i>, where <i>nnn</i> is a decimal number ranging from 0 through 255 except that the host ID portion and the network ID portion of the internet address may not be all 0 bits or all 1 bits. An internet address that has all binary ones or all binary zeros for the network ID portion or the host ID portion of the internet address is not valid.

<h3>TCP/IP local domain name (TCPDMNNAME)</h3>
<p>Specifies the local domain name associated with the network server.
</p>
<p>A domain name can be a text string having 2 to 255 characters. Domain names consist of one or more labels separated by periods. Each label can contain up to 63 characters. The following characters are allowed in domain names:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Alphabetical characters A through Z
</li>
<li>Digits 0 through 9
</li>
<li>Minus sign (-)
</li>
<li>Period (.). Periods are only allowed when they separate labels of domain style name (refer to RFC 1034).
</li>
</ul>
<p>Other domain name conventions include the following:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Uppercase and lowercase characters are allowed, but no significance attached to the case. The case is maintained as entered. The first and last character of the host name must be an alphabetic character or a digit.
</li>
<li>Try to limit your domain name labels to 12 characters because shorter labels are easier to remember.
</li>
<li>It is a common practice to use hierarchical names that allow predictable extensions for change and growth. Domain names normally reflect the delegation of authority or hierarchy used to assign them.
</li>
</ul>
<p>For example, the name SYS1.MFG.ABC.COM can be broken down into the following:
</p>
<dl>
<dt><b>COM</b></dt>
<dd>All commercial networks.
</dd>
<dt><b>ABC.COM</b></dt>
<dd>All systems in the ABC company's commercial network.
</dd>
<dt><b>MFG.ABC.COM</b></dt>
<dd>All manufacturing systems in the ABC company's commercial network.
</dd>
<dt><b>SYS1.MFG.ABC.COM</b></dt>
<dd>A host named SYS1 in the manufacturing area of the company's commercial network.
</dd>
</dl>
<p>In the above example, MFG.ABC.COM is the domain name and SYS1 is the short form of the host name.

TCPHOSTNAME(*NWSD) TCPDMNNAME(*SYS) TCPNAMSVR(*SYS)
</pre>
</p>
<p>This command creates a server description named LINUX1. LINUX1 has no associated resource name. LINUX1 is a network server description associated with a guest operating system running in the logical partition named TEST. The TCP/IP protocol stack will be activated when LINUX1 is varied on. Code page 437 (United States) will be used. Port 1 will have TCP/IP internet addresses assigned. The TCP/IP local host name is the same as the server description name. The TCP/IP local domain name is the same as the i5/OS system and the same name server will be used.
