.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B Ifconfig
|
|
initializes a TCP/IP device setting the IP address and/or netmask. It will
|
|
report the address and netmask set. This command may be used if the system
|
|
has not been configured properly yet. It is only used at boot time to set a
|
|
fixed address for a system without a physical ethernet. Normally the
|
|
.B inet
|
|
task will find it out by itself from the RARP server.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-h
|
|
The decimal TCP/IP address to set.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-n
|
|
The netmask to set.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-m
|
|
The mtu to set. (Minix-vmd only.)
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-i
|
|
Don't set the IP address or netmask if already set. This way ifconfig cannot
|
|
interfere if the numbers have been found out by RARP.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-v
|
|
Report IP address and netmask. This is the default action if there are no
|
|
other options.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-a
|
|
Report the IP addresses and netmasks of all configured interfaces.
