2.3.6 SNMP service
The SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) service is installed and configured with
the
asxsnmp package. This daemon process is started and stopped automatically with
Advanced Server for UNIX. It provides a connection between Advanced Server for UNIX
and the SNMP agent. Please refer to the manual
“SNMP Service” for further information. In
addition, the “Emanate Master Agent” (Slsnmpdm) can also be used with the “SINIX SNMP
Agent Adapter” (Slsnmpd).
2.3.7 Netrun service
The Netrun service enables you to run a UNIX program on Advanced Server for UNIX from
an OS/2 or an extended MS-DOS client.
The corresponding user interface is not available on Windows for Workgroups, Windows
95/98, and Windows NT.
2.3.8 Browser
The browser service extends the announce messages that normally occured in the LAN
Manager/X environment (every 60 seconds). This new mechanism consists of a system of
hierarchically ordered browser programs that are used for searching domains, servers and
resources within the network. The browser service function is provided in the Explorer/File
Manager and Windows Print Manager. Relevant shared resources on other servers and on
servers in other domains can be found using this system.
However, the browser service can only be used by a Windows NT server, a Windows NT
workstation, a Windows 95/98 client, or a Windows for Workgroups client. It is not available
on a Windows or MS-DOS client.
For further information in this regard, please refer to the “Concepts and Planning” manual.
2.3.9 Windows Internet Naming Service
The Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) is used to map computernames to IP
addresses. For further information please consult the chapter describing
“Implementing
WINS” .
