To view the current NetBIOS configuration:
Ê At the command prompt, type
/var/opt/nbrfc/bin/nbconfig -i
If there are changes in the system network configuration – by adding or removing
network interfaces – the NetBIOS configuration can be synchronized in different ways:
● If there were already manual changes in the file interfaces.cfg which must be kept, then
a manual change with help of an editor is recommended
. The right values for the
parameters “ip_addr
”
, “brdcast_addr
”
, und “netmask
”
can be found out with the help of
the command ifconfig(1M)
in case you cannot use the keyword default.
● If this is not the case (e.g. after installation) you should create a new file with the help
of the tool cr_interfaces.
To add or remove network interfaces:
Ê Edit the interfaces.cfg file. Delete sections and/or copy existing sections and modify the
parameters as appropriate. Whenever possible, use the “default
”
keyword.
or
Ê Save the existing interfaces.cfg under a different name and create a new one by typing
/var/opt/nbrfc/bin/cr_interfaces
To check an existing configuration file interfaces.cfg without actually activating the
new configuration:
Ê At the command prompt, type
/var/opt/nbrfc/bin/get_config
You should compare the output of this command with the output of the corresponding
ifconfig(1M) commands.
To activate any changes you made to the NetBIOS configuration:
If Advanced Server for UNIX is running,
Ê Restart the Advanced Server for UNIX using the commands
asx stop; asx start
else
Ê Restart NetBIOS using the commands
nbrfc stop; nbrfc start
