| 15 | .SH DESCRIPTION
|
|---|
| 16 | .B Ifconfig
|
|---|
| 17 | initializes a TCP/IP device setting the IP address and/or netmask. It will
|
|---|
| 18 | report the address and netmask set. This command may be used if the system
|
|---|
| 19 | has not been configured properly yet. It is only used at boot time to set a
|
|---|
| 20 | fixed address for a system without a physical ethernet. Normally the
|
|---|
| 21 | .B inet
|
|---|
| 22 | task will find it out by itself from the RARP server.
|
|---|
| 23 | .SH OPTIONS
|
|---|
| 24 | .TP
|
|---|
| 25 | .B \-h
|
|---|
| 26 | The decimal TCP/IP address to set.
|
|---|
| 27 | .TP
|
|---|
| 28 | .B \-n
|
|---|
| 29 | The netmask to set.
|
|---|
| 30 | .TP
|
|---|
| 31 | .B \-m
|
|---|
| 32 | The mtu to set. (Minix-vmd only.)
|
|---|
| 33 | .TP
|
|---|
| 34 | .B \-i
|
|---|
| 35 | Don't set the IP address or netmask if already set. This way ifconfig cannot
|
|---|
| 36 | interfere if the numbers have been found out by RARP.
|
|---|
| 37 | .TP
|
|---|
| 38 | .B \-v
|
|---|
| 39 | Report IP address and netmask. This is the default action if there are no
|
|---|
| 40 | other options.
|
|---|
| 41 | .TP
|
|---|
| 42 | .B \-a
|
|---|
| 43 | Report the IP addresses and netmasks of all configured interfaces.
