[final] netmask = cplx_string
[final] netmask[lan_dev]
= cplx_string
Sets the client’s default netmask, as used by ifconfig(1M), to cplx_string . lan_dev may be used to
specify to which LAN interface is applicable.
[final] broadcast_addr =
cplx_string
[final] broadcast_addr
[lan_dev] = cplx_string
Sets the broadcast address for the specified LAN device.
dhcp_class_id =
cplx_string
dhcp_class_id
[lan_dev] = cplx_string
Sets the class ID that is used when trying to obtain information for the specified LAN interface from
a DHCP server. Specifying a
dhcp_class_id
limits the responses from DHCP servers to those
that have information for the same class that is specified. This is used to isolate clients into
different classes. Using the
dhcp_class_id
is especially useful when temporary IP addresses to
be used for installs come from a different server than addresses used by other systems on the net-
work. The
dhcp_server keyword may also be used for this purpose.
dhcp_server = cplx_string
dhcp_server [lan_dev] = cplx_string
Specifies the DHCP server from which the internet address lease should be obtained. Specifying the
server prevents the client from accepting offers from any other server on the network. Normally
this is not set and the client is allowed to accept any offer.
dhcp_misc_opts = cplx_string
dhcp_misc_opts [lan_dev]
= cplx_string
Can be used to specify miscellaneous options to the
dhcpclient command when it is used to
obtain the IP address lease. Common options specified with this keyword are
-G and
-l. The -G
option may be used in conjunction with the dhcp_class_id
, which causes the dhcpclient
command to refuse any offers from servers that do not supply the matching class ID string in their
reply offer. Normally servers that do not have the same class ID do not respond; however, some
vendor’s implementations do respond, thus the
-G option may be used to force filtering of these
replies on the client side. The
-G option only works with DHCP servers that supply the class ID in
their response. Servers known to supply the class ID are HP-UX B.11.11 and later bootpd. The
-l option may be used to specify debug output from the dhcpclient command. Other options are
documented in the dhcpclient (1M) man page on HP-UX releases B.11.23 and later. For example, to
set the debug output level:
dhcp_misc_opts = "-l 6"
[final] route_gateway
[index] = cplx_string
[final] route_destination
[index] = cplx_string
[final] route_count [index] = number
These keywords are use to configure the client’s network routing information. If no routing informa-
tion is given, the default is to set up a "default" route though the local host. If one or more static
routes are to be configured, the route_gateway must be set. If route_destination
is not
set, it defaults to the string "default". If
route_count is not set, it defaults to 1 if the
route_gateway is not the same as the client’s IP address. It defaults to 0 if it is the same as the
client’s IP address.
index number should be different for each set of route parameters to be configured; it may be
thought of as an array index. The first route specified should have an index of 0.
[final] dns_domain = cplx_string
[final] dns_nameserver [index] = cplx_string
[final] dns_search [index] = cplx_string
Sets the domain name services (DNS) domain, one or more name servers, and optionally, one or
more search domains. The index parameter to the dns_nameserver and to the dns_search
keywords allows more than one name server and search domain to be configured. The first server
and search domain should be assigned using an index of 0, and the second 1, etc. See resolver (4) for
details.
[final] nis_domain = cplx_string
[final] nis_server = cplx_string
[final] wait_for_nis_server = boolean
Sets NIS domain and NIS server information. The nis_server keyword is optional when
configuring NIS. The default for wait_for_nis_server is TRUE, meaning that the client
