IPCONFIG(8) IPCONFIG(8)
NAME
ipconfig, arpd, rip - Internet configuration and routing
SYNOPSIS
ip/ipconfig [-abp] [-e etherdev] [-m ip-mask] [ipaddr]
ip/arpd [-pd] [-e etherdev] [-b bcast-addr]
ip/rip [-b]
DESCRIPTION
Ipconfig configures an Internet connection on an Ethernet.
The options are
a do not start arpd
b do not use BOOTP to discover a gateway address
p start arpd in promiscuous mode (see below)
e use the Ethernet mounted at /net/etherdev
m set the network mask to ip-mask
If ipaddr is specified on the command line, use that instead
of one found in the local database or via the BOOTP proto-
col.
Arpd performs the Internet Address Resolution Protocol,
translating Internet addresses into Ethernet addresses. It
is normally started by ipconfig. The options are
d print debugging to standard output
p (promiscuous) answer ARP requests for any recognized
machine. The default is to answer just for the machine
running arpd.
e use the Ethernet mounted at /net/etherdev
b use the IP broadcast address bcast-addr instead of the
correct one.
Rip runs the routing protocol RIP. It listens for RIP pack-
ets on connected networks and updates the kernel routing
tables. The only option, -b, broadcasts routing information
onto the networks.
