After system installation, the network is configured either by
/usr/sbin/setup, a menu driven procedure that allows system component
configuration, or by /usr/sbin/netsetup, the network configuration
utility.
Internet domain service is configured by
/usr/sbin/bindsetup that describes NIS management at file level
as stated by /etc/svc.conf. Database configuration described in
/etc/svc.conf is managed by /usr/sbin/svcsetup. All system setup
utilities are described in the related man pages.
Network boot file /sbin/init.d/inet performs network startup according
to the /sbin/ifconfig definitions. Host IP address and parameters
are stored in file
/etc/rc.config.
A guide to parameter setup is given in the worksheet
/usr/examples/network_configuration/worksheet.ps
The network is started, restarted and/or stopped by the script
/usr/sbin/rcinet with the required option.
Network management files are:
/etc/hosts /etc/named/hosts.db /etc/named/hosts.rev /etc/named/named.ca /etc/named/named.local /etc/named/named.boot /etc/rc.config /etc/resolv.conf /etc/svc.conf /var/adm/sendmail/sendmail.cf
