ARS Network Addressing
The Address Resolution Service (ARS) is the CygNet Software directory service that resolves network addresses. It is sometimes called a metadata service since it resolves information about other CygNet services. The ARS must be running in order to install CygNet Software successfully. It tracks the network address and operational status of each service within a CygNet domain.
A service must be added to the ARS before it is started for the first time. This eliminates superfluous entries and enforces administrator security. You can view and modify ARS records using CygNet Explorer.
The ARS service definitions are stored in ServiceDefs.[domain].db, a service-generated file. The file resides in the ARS directory. Service definitions can also be retrieved using the GlobalFunctions method.
The following topics discuss how network addressing is handled.
Note: For information about automatic backup of the ARS, see Address Resolution Service Backup.
See Address Resolution Service (ARS) for more information.
