IP Commands
Introduction
This chapter describes the following types of commands for the BSR:
Interface commands not associated with a specific protocol can be used to configure interface features with any device on the network.
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) commands handle network communications between network nodes. This includes network addressing information, control information that enables packets to be routed, and reliable transmission of data.
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) commands dynamically maps IP addresses to physical hardware addresses. An ARP cache is used to maintain a correlation between each MAC address and its corresponding IP address.
Domain Name System (DNS) commands are used to map hostnames to IP addresses, and to control Internet routing information. Lists of domain names and IP addresses are distributed throughout the Internet with DNS servers.
Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) commands are used to synchronize computer clocks in the global internet. SNTP operates in unicast, broadcast, and IP multicast modes.
