Configuring Advanced Server for UNIX

Configuring NetBIOS

5.1.2.2Commands used for configuring network interfaces

When configuring network interfaces, the following NetBIOS commands from

/var/opt/nbrfc/bin are used:

The cr_interfaces command creates the /var/opt/nbrfc/conf/interfaces.cfg configuration file based on the information found in the UNIX system at runtime. The program runs at instal- lation time but it can also be executed manually by the administrator e.g. to add a new interface.

Syntax:

cr_interfaces [-F]

Options:

-F Force the creation of a new file. (Normally, an existing file is not overwritten.)

The get_config command reads the interfaces.cfg file; it does validity checks and displays er- ror and/or warning messages as appropriate.

Syntax: get_config

Use get_config before restarting NetBIOS whenever the interfaces.cfg file has changed in order to detect inconsistent or faulty configurations.

Example output of get_config:

In order to check a new interfaces.cfg file you should compare the output of get_config with the output of corresponding ifconfig(1M) commands.

The nbconfig command is used to view or to administer the state of the NetBIOS interfaces.
