NETWORKS(5)						      BSD File Formats Manual						       NETWORKS(5)

NAME

     networks -- Internet Protocol network name data base

DESCRIPTION

     The networks file is used as a local source to translate between Internet Protocol (IP) network addresses and network names (and vice versa).
     It can be used in conjunction with the DNS, as controlled by nsswitch.conf(5).

     While the networks file was originally intended to be an exhaustive list of all IP networks that the local host could communicate with, dis-
     tribution and update of such a list for the world-wide Internet (or, indeed, for any large "enterprise" network) has proven to be prohibi-
     tive, so the Domain Name System (DNS) is used instead, except as noted.

     For each IP network a single line should be present with the following information:
	   name network [alias ...]

     These are:
	   name     Official network name
	   network  IP network number
	   alias    Network alias

     Items are separated by any number of blanks and/or tab characters.  A ``#'' indicates the beginning of a comment; characters up to the end of
     the line are not interpreted by routines which search the file.

     Network number may be specified in the conventional dot (``.'') notation using the inet_network(3) routine from the IP address manipulation
     library, inet(3).	Network names may contain "a" through "z", zero through nine, and dash.

     IP network numbers on the Internet are generally assigned to a site by its Internet Service Provider (ISP), who, in turn, get network address
     space assigned to them by one of the regional Internet Registries (e.g. ARIN, RIPE NCC, APNIC).  These registries, in turn, answer to the
     Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).

     If a site changes its ISP from one to another, it will generally be required to change all its assigned IP addresses as part of the conver-
     sion; that is, return the previous network numbers to the previous ISP, and assign addresses to its hosts from IP network address space given
     by the new ISP.  Thus, it is best for a savvy network manager to configure his hosts for easy renumbering, to preserve his ability to easily
     change his ISP should the need arise.

FILES

     /etc/networks  The networks file resides in /etc.
