The network table contains the networks and the Internet address associated with the network. Socket applications use the getnetbyname() and getnetbyaddr() functions to access the information in the network table (Figure 61).

The protocols and services tables that are shipped contain standard information. The network tables do not contain any information. The network IBM information has been added in Figure 61, as an example.
For additional information about sockets, refer to Socket Programming (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/pubs/html/as400/v5r1/ic2924/info/rzab6/ rzab6soxoverview.htm) in the Information Center.

Using X.25 PVC instead of SVC
In “Step
To replace the X.25 SVC with an X.25 permanent virtual circuit (PVC) connection, the example below is helpful. The following CL commands will look different: CRTLINX25, ADDTCPIFC, and ADDTCPRSI.
Use the same X.25 line description, but replace the first of the four SVCs with a PVC.
CRTLINX25 LIND(X25LINE) RSRCNAME(LIN051) LGLCHLE((001 *PVC) (002 *SVCBOTH)
(003 *SVCBOTH) (004 *SVCBOTH)) NETADR(40030003) CNNINIT(*LOCAL) TEXT('ITSO X.25 Network')
