3 Configuring Optional Terminal Start-Up Resources

Several server resources can enhance terminal operation but are not among the minimum required for the terminal to function. The resources in this category use the following network protocols:

NFS SMB SNMP

HTTPFTP

and may use the following serial line protocols:

PPP SLIP CSLIP

This chapter provides a brief description of where the above-listed protocols are used and discusses any special configuration requirements. Some of the resources described here (such as NFS) have already been described in other chapters.

Network Services

Network services are software resources available on servers for terminals’ use. Network services include:

•An additional set of software for use by diagnosticians in both network- and local-boot configurations.

•An additional set of fonts for use with the applications.

•The ability to load very large objects (e.g., from the Web) onto your terminal by making a swap area available on the network.

•The ability to print large objects by spooling them to a network file rather than keeping them in memory while printing and/or being sent to the printer server (or local printer).
