Configuring Advanced Server for UNIX Configuring NetBIOS

To view the current NetBIOS configuration:

ÊAt the command prompt, type

<y<<<<

If there are changes in the system network configuration – by adding or removing network interfaces – the NetBIOS configuration can be synchronized in different ways:

●If there were already manual changes in the file interfaces.cfg which must be kept, then a manual change with help of an editor is recommended. The right values for the parameters “ip_addr” , “brdcast_addr” , und “netmask” can be found out with the help of the command ifconfig(1M) in case you cannot use the keyword default.

●If this is not the case (e.g. after installation) you should create a new file with the help of the tool cr_interfaces.

To add or remove network interfaces:

ÊEdit the interfaces.cfg file. Delete sections and/or copy existing sections and modify the parameters as appropriate. Whenever possible, use the “default” keyword.

or

ÊSave the existing interfaces.cfg under a different name and create a new one by typing

<y<<<<

To check an existing configuration file interfaces.cfg without actually activating the new configuration:

ÊAt the command prompt, type

<y<<<<w

You should compare the output of this command with the output of the corresponding ifconfig(1M) commands.

To activate any changes you made to the NetBIOS configuration:

If Advanced Server for UNIX is running,

ÊRestart the Advanced Server for UNIX using the commands yJ y y

else

ÊRestart NetBIOS using the commands
