NETWORK CONFIGURATION

Setting up Notes named networks
The IBM® Lotus® Domino™ Server Setup program automatically places all servers that are in a Domino domain and that run the same network protocol in the same IBM® Lotus® Notes® named network (NNN). In the Server document, the setup program assigns each NNN a default name in the format portname network.

After you complete the Server Setup program, rename the NNN for each network port in the Server document. It is useful if the name reflects both the location of the network and its protocol. For example, if your company has a TCP/IP network and has LANs in Boston and San Francisco, change the name of the NNN in Boston to "TCPIP Boston network," and change the name of the NNN in San Francisco to "TCPIP SF network."

Caution Domino assumes that all servers in a NNN have a continuous LAN or WAN connection. If this is not the case, serious delays in mail routing between servers can occur. Be careful not to include servers with only dialup connections in an NNN.
