More commands:

linkloop
hosts
resolve.conf
nsswitch.conf

I am recommending to start with ifconfig and recommeded man pages and continue with SEE ALSO part man pages more.

Files which are relative to networks:

1. /etc/nsswitch.conf
2. /etc/resolv.conf
3. /etc/hosts
4. /etc/services
5. /etc/rc.config.d/netconf
6. /etc/rc.config.d/*lan
7. /etc/inetd.conf

Service which is involving:

1. /sbin/init.d/net

To get and generate network based commands, try to go here,

http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-60103/index.html

and search with "network" word and select your commands.

Take a look at http://www.unixguide.net/cgi-bin/unixguide.cgi for comparison of commands between all major OS releases.

Hi

You usually start to identify the
hardware bus/cards
with
- lanscan
(for each card lan0, lan1 etc)
- ioscan -fnC lan

To get ip@ configs
- ifconfig lan0 , lan1 etc.

To configure your hardware go to
/etc/rc.config.d/hpbtlanconf
or hpeisabtconf or hpetherconf

For your ip@ and routing
/etc/rc.config.d/netconf
or manually "route" and "traceroute"

(In fact run to see current
settings: lanadmin -x 1
or lanadmin -x 2 depending)

For initial settings run
[vwbsrv3:/etc/rc.config.d]# set_parms
Usage: set_parms
Where can be:
hostname
timezone
date_time
root_passwd
ip_address
addl_netwrk
or initial (for entire initial boot-time dialog sequence)
[vwbsrv3:/etc/rc.config.d]#

Naturally there are your utilities
like nslookup (see /etc/resolve.conf
and /etc/nsswitch.conf)
, ping , netstat and linkloop to
test various stuff.

And the best of all , surprised
no-one mentioned it, it is a bit techy;
"nettl" control network tracing and logging.

Hope this gives the full picture:)

rgds,

Hi
Mridul

I see that you are new here:)

Welcome !

But don't forget to allocate points to
those that took the trouble to give an
elaborate answer to your question.

Many thanks,

How assign points

Re: Network Command

Frank de Vries — Tue, 13 Dec 2005 10:28:34 GMT

Hi Mridul

You mean how to technically do it ?
Well you can rate each answer between
1-10 points via the dropdown list next to each answer on your thread and then submit.
(Sometimes it can be slow and has to be
repeated, I know :))

Or did you mean there is no more point
to give points ?
then the best thing to do is to close the thread, then no more points can be given to
new answers :) And it is clear to us
what is the status of the thread.

Thanks

Some kind reminder
You have assigned points to 10 of 16 responses to your questions.

That is 60%

A pretty low score don't you think ?

So , I think people have a right
to know that they should not count
on points from you.

Very untypical, as my other Indian colleques
here are very generous indeed.
