6.2.4ei*0_inet_init or ew*0_inet_init

The ei*0_inet_init or ew*0_inet_init environment variable determines whether the interface’s internal Internet database is initialized from nvram or from a network server (through the bootp protocol).

Legal values are nvram and bootp. The default value is bootp. Set this environment variable if you are booting Tru64 UNIX from a RIS server.

To list the network devices on your system, enter the show device command. The Ethernet controllers start with the letters “ei” or “ew,” for example, ewa0. The third letter is the adapter ID for the specific Ethernet controller. Replace the asterisk (*) with the adapter ID letter when entering the command.

The syntax is:

set ei*0_inet_init value or set ew*0_inet_init value

Example

P00>>> set eia0_inet_init bootp
