3.1.5 ex*0_inet_init
The eg*0_inet_init, ei*0_inet_init, or ew*0_inet_init environment vari-
able determines whether the interface’s internal Internet database is
initialized from nvram or from a network server (through the bootp
protocol). Legal values are nvram and bootp. The default value is
bootp. Set this environment variable if you are booting Tru64 UNIX
from a RIS server.
To list the network devices on your system, enter the show device command.
The Ethernet controllers start with the letters “eg”, “ei” or “ew,” for example,
ewa0. The third letter is the adapter ID for the specific Ethernet controller.
Replace the asterisk (*) with the adapter ID letter when using this command.
The syntax is:
set eg*0_inet_init value or
set ei*0_inet_init value or
set ew*0_inet_init value
The value is one of the following:
nvram
Initializes the internal Internet database from nvram.
bootp
Initializes the internal Internet database from a network server
through the bootp protocol.
Example
P00>>> set ewa0_inet_init bootp
