NOTE A short network outage could be an issue under certain conditions for
some environments. For those users, HP recommends that HP-UX
IPFilter be enabled by rebooting the system after setting the
IPF_START
parameter to 1 in the /etc/rc.config.d/ipfconf file.
For environments not affected by the short network outage this will
avoid a system reboot.
