How the Client Is Set Up

To enable the client machine to access remote servers through Ingres Bridge, you must first create a vnode entry for the host machine on which Ingres Bridge is running.

vnode Definition—Enable Client Access to Remote Servers Through Bridge

The following information defines a vnode. You enter this information using any of the Net Management tools.

Note: The Network Utility (if supported on your platform) is the preferred means of creating vnodes in Ingres.
