5.1.2.2 Commands used for configuring network interfaces
When configuring network interfaces, the following NetBIOS commands from
/var/opt/nbrfc/bin are used:
The cr_interfaces command creates the /var/opt/nbrfc/conf/interfaces.cfg configuration file
based on the information found in the UNIX system at runtime. The program runs at instal-
lation time but it can also be executed manually by the administrator e.g. to add a new
interface.
Syntax:
cr_interfaces [-F]
Options:
-F Force the creation of a new file. (Normally, an existing file is not overwritten.)
The get_config command reads the interfaces.cfg file; it does validity checks and displays er-
ror and/or warning messages as appropriate.
Syntax:
get_config
Use get_config before restarting NetBIOS whenever the interfaces.cfg file has changed in
order to detect inconsistent or faulty configurations.
Example output of get_config:
In order to check a new interfaces.cfg file you should compare the output of get_config with
the output of corresponding ifconfig(1M) commands.
The nbconfig command is used to view or to administer the state of the NetBIOS interfaces.
