configNetIf - configure the network interfaces
/usr/sysadm/privbin/configNetIf [-i <interface>] [-p] [-h <hostname>] [-a
<IP address>] [-m <netmask>] [-r <metric>] [-d on|off] [-n] [up|down]
configNetIf configures the network interfaces on the system. This command
not only updates the given network interface, but also updates relevant
system files. This command is used by the Set Up and Start Networking and
Turn Off Networking tasks.
-i <interface>
The network interface ( ec0, ec1, ... ). This should be a valid
interface name on the system. For a list of all the network
interfaces on the system, use, netstat -i. configNetIf quits with a
non-zero error number if the given <interface> name is invalid. lo0
is not a valid interface.
-p Primary interface. configNetIf allows operations on the primary
interface if the <interface> is not passed in. If the command is
invoked with both the arguments, it sets the current <interface> to
be the primary interface. By default, if no <interface> name or -p
options are passed in, then, configNetIf assumes the primary
interface.
-h <hostname>
The hostname. configNetIf configures the given network interface
with the passed in <hostname>, after validating the name. If the
interface is the primary interface, it updates the /etc/sys_id file
along with updating the /etc/hosts database.
-a <IP address>
The IP address. configNetIf configures the given network interface
with the passed in <IP address>, after validating the address. If
the interface is the primary interface, it updates nvram netaddr,
along with updating the /etc/hosts database.
-m <netmask>
The Sub netmask. configNetIf configures the given network interface
with the passed in <netmask>, after validating the netmask. For more
information on the netmask, see ifconfig(1M).
-r <metric>
The Routing Metric. Set the interface routing metric to <metric>.
The default is 0.

-d on|off
Let the DHCP client configure this interface. If not specified,
default is off.
-n Restart the network after making the changes. This has the effect
of killing any applications with files open on a network file system
or current working directories in network file system. If this
switch is not used, the system will not be fully configured until
the network is restarted (such as with a reboot).
up|down
The network interface state. Currently, if no interface is
specified, the command turns on or off the system networking state (
chkconfig(1M) ).
/etc/hosts The local hosts database.
/etc/config/network The network configuration file.
/etc/sys_id The hostname.
/var/yp/ypdomain The domain name.
/etc/config/netif.options The network interface definitions file.
/etc/config/ifconfig-*.options The network interface configurations
file.
/etc/init.d/network The network script that is executed at
the end of a successful run of the
command.
/etc/config/network The network configuration file
sysmgr(1M) The System Manager
NetIfManager(1M) The Network Interface Manager
