Title QNX node numbering on a network
Ref. No. QNX.000003248
Category(ies) Network, Configuration
Issue We would like to number our nodes on a QNX network, starting at a number other than one.  We would also like to have our nodes numbered non-contiguously - ie 1,2,10,11

Is this possible?
Solution Yes this is possible, to do this you will have to do the following:

1.  Pass the -B option to Proc to specify base node
2.  Pass the -n option to Net to specify size of netmap
3.  Pass the -s and -e options to nameloc to specify start and end nodes to poll.

With this you can start numbering from something other than one, but to have non-contiguous numbering, you will have to have enough licenses end-node-number - start-node-number
