Shell Commands/NetConfig
From MorphOS Library
NetConfig - Configures network interfaces
INTERFACE,IP=IPADDR/K,DEST=DESTINATION/K,MASK=NETMASK/K,MTU/N/K,GW=GATEWAY/K,NS=NS1=NAMESERVER1/K,NS2=NAMESERVER2/K, NS3=NAMESERVER3/K,DHCPS=DHCPSERVER=BPS=BOOTPSERVER/K,DHCPSCAN/S,HOSTNAME/K,NOGW=NOGATEWAY/S,LOOPBACK/S,BOOTP/S, DHCP/S,NOONLINE/S,NOHWADDR/S,AUTOCONFIG/S,DIALSCRIPT/K,PROVIDERFILE/K,FORCEPRIMARY/S,NODIAL/S,DEBUG/S
INTERFACE - The name of the interface to configure.
AUTOCONFIG - The system preferences are used to configure
all interfaces automaticly. The file <env:sys/interfaces>
is used to describe the interfaces and the file <env:sys/netconfig>
is used to pass extra netconfig config arguments.
IPADDR - The IP address of the interface. This
should be given only if the IP address
is known and is not dynamic.
DESTINATION - The destination IP address for the point
to point interfaces and the broadcast
address for the broadcast interfaces.
This is generally needed for point to
point interfaces. The gateway address
will be used as the destination address
if the destination IP address is not
availabe. For broadcast interfaces this
option is generally not needed at all.
NETMASK - The netmask of the interface. If not
supplied, a suitable default is
calculated by NetStack.
GATEWAY - The IP address of the default gateway.
This should not be given if no specific
default gateway is assigned. On point to
point links the destination IP address
will be used as the gateway address as
well, if no specific gateway address is
given.
MTU - The mtu of the interface. If not
supplied, a suitable default is
calculated by NetStack
NAMESERVER1 - The IP address of the first nameserver.
NAMESERVER2 - The IP address of the 2nd nameserver.
NAMESERVER3 - The IP address of the 3rd nameserver.
DHCPSERVER - The IP address of the BOOTP/DHCP server to
use. Normally this is not needed and a
default broadcast address will be used
instead.
DHCPSCAN - Scan and output all found dhcp servers
HOSTNAME - The name of your systen.
NOGATEWAY - Specifies that no default gateway should
be configured.
LOOPBACK - Specifies that the loopback interface
("lo0") should be configured as well.
BOOTP - Use BOOTP to get the configuration
information. If your network has a BOOTP
server, you normally do not need any
other options to configure your
interface.
DHCP - Use DHCP to get the configuration
information. If your network has a DHCP
server, you normally do not need any
other options to configure your
interface.
NOONLINE - Do not put the Sana2 device online.
Normally netconfig puts the Sana2
device configured for interface-name
online. This option causes the online
command not to be sent.
NOHWADDR - Do not use hardware address on the BOOTP
request. Normally this is not needed,
since netconfig can disable hardware
address usage automatically for
appropriate interface types.
DEBUG - Turns on debugging output. Normally
netconfig produces very little output,
but this option causes all relevant
information to be printed out.
DIALSCRIPT - Not documented.
PROVIDERFILE - Not documented.
FORCEPRIMARY - Not documented.
NODIAL - Not documented.
NetConfig is launched at boot time from system's startup scripts and users aren't adviced to use it separately.
