 Comment                        = A remote NetBIOS node
 Protocol                       = NETBIOS
 Adapter number                 = 0
 Server NNAME                   = DB2INST1
 
Node 5 entry:
 
 Node name                      = DB2TCP1
 Comment                        = A remote TCP/IP node
 Protocol                       = TCPIP
 Hostname                       = tcphost
 Service name                   = db2inst1
 
Node 6 entry:
 
 Node name                      = DB2TCP2
 Comment                        = TCP/IP node using IP address
 Protocol                       = TCPIP
 Hostname                       = 9.21.15.235
 Service name                   = db2inst2

The common fields are identified as follows:

Node name: The name of the remote node. This corresponds to the name entered for the nodename parameter when the node was cataloged.
Comment: A comment associated with the node, entered when the node was cataloged. To change a comment in the node directory, uncatalog the node, and then catalog it again with the new comment.
Protocol: The communications protocol cataloged for the node.

Note:

For information about fields associated with a specific node type, see the applicable CATALOG...NODE command.

Usage Notes

A node directory is created and maintained on each database client. It contains an entry for each remote workstation having databases that the client can access. The DB2 client uses the communication end point information in the node directory whenever a database connection or instance attachment is requested.

The database manager creates a node entry and adds it to the node directory each time it processes a CATALOG...NODE command. The entries can vary, depending on the communications protocol being used by the node.

The node directory can contain entries for the following types of nodes:

APPC
APPCLU
APPN
IPX/SPX
Local
Named pipe
NetBIOS
TCP/IP.
