set_parms(1M) set_parms(1M)
management of a DHCP lease. After set_parms
completes this and other system set-up tasks, control
passes back to
/sbin/rc, which completes the boot-up sequence using the newly-created system initial
identity parameters.
See the rc (1M) manpage for information about
/sbin/rc for invocation context in the first-boot case.
If the system has multiple lan interfaces and the user wishes to configure some with DHCP and others
with static IP, the user must invoke
set_parms initial first to configure all the lan interfaces which
they wish to configure as DHCP. The user should not allow the system to be rebooted while doing this
configuration. Then the user should invoke
set_parms ip_address to configure the remaining lan
interfaces.
set_parms initial also allows the user to specify the DHCP server from which to get hostname and
networking parameters and Class ID.
If multiple interfaces are configured with DHCP, there is a chance that multiple hostnames will be
returned through different DHCP enabled lan interfaces. If hostname is not set in
/etc/rc.config.d/netconf
and none of the interfaces are configured with static IP addresses,
then the hostname returned by the
least index
interface is updated in
/etc/rc.config.d/netconf.

which runs them in sorted order.
