D.2.1.3 Fails to activate a system or an interface in the NIS environment

Phenomenon:

The following message is displayed and activation of a system or an interface hangs up.

ypbind[xxxx]: [ID xxxxxx daemon.error] NIS server not responding for domain "domain_name"; still trying

Cause and how to deal with:

When a system that a Redundant Line Control function works is set as an NIS client, occasionally not possible to connect NIS server temporarily due to the process to deactivate an interface executed by a Redundant Line Control function. In such a case, if set a netmask to an interface by an ifconfig command, occasionally the process to activate a system or an interface hangs up because an ifconfig command waits for the connection with NIS server to get a subnet mask.
Be sure to set as follows when using a Redundant Line Control function in the NIS environment.

To specify "files" first in /etc/nsswitch.conf to refer "netmasks".

[Example of setting]

netmasks: files

or

netmasks: files [NOTFOUND=return] nis

As to accessing NIS server, design a network not to use an interface that is the target of control in a Redundant Line Control function (activation/deactivation) as possible.
