Configuring Advanced Server for UNIX Configuring NetBIOS

5.1.2 Configuring Network Interfaces

5.1.2.1The interfaces.cfg file

In general every network interface for which TCP/IP is supported can be used by Advanced Server’s NetBIOS.The file /var/opt/nbrfc/conf/interfaces.cfg is used to describe the network interfaces to be used by NetBIOS and their properties.

This file is automatically created during NetBIOS installation, if it does not already exist. In many cases it is not necessary to change this automatically created file. Depending on the TCP/IP configuration at the creation time of the file there are several sections each describing a network interface. The syntax of a section is the following:

Syntax of a section in interfaces.cfg:

[<interface_name>] active=yes no used_by_wins=yes no

ip_addr=default <ip_address_ddn> brdcast_addr=default <brdcast_addr_ddn> brdcast_list=<brdcast_list> netmask=default <netmask_ddn>

Within a section,

<interface_name>	is the name (from ifconfig(1M)) of the interface configured by this
	section. The name is given inside square brackets.
<ip_address_ddn>	is the IP address of the interface given in dotted decimal
	notation. (Usually you will use the “default” keyword instead.)
<brdcast_addr_ddn>	is the broadcast address of the interface given in dotted decimal
	notation. (Usually you will use the “default” keyword instead.)
<brdcast_list>	is an optional (!) comma-separated list of broadcast addresses
	given in dotted decimal notation.
<netmask_ddn>	is the netmask of the interface given in dotted decimal notation
	or as a hex value. (Usually you will use the “default” keyword
	instead.)
