swinstall -s \

Hi Mridul,

to restart network you can try

/sbin/init.d/net start

For dns, if you mean set dns on your server, i suggest to perform
set_parms

Hi Mridul ,

System IP addresses are configured in

/etc/rc.config.d/netconf file .

/sbin/init.d/net start/stop can be used to start /stop the networking subsystem.


For configuring DNS cleint use
/etc/resolv.conf & /etc/nsswitch.conf file .

For setting up mail, we are updating /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and start/stop mail services using
/sbin/init.d/sendmail start/stop.

thx,
bl.

To help ensure that all is well with the netconf file and such, run the command 'set_parms'.

This will walk you through the steps of assigning IP address, hostname, gateway, netmask, etc...
