.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.LP
|
|
The
|
|
.B hostconfig
|
|
program uses a network protocol to acquire a machine's ``host parameters''
|
|
and then sets these parameters on the system.
|
|
The program selects which protocol to use based on the argument to the
|
|
required
|
|
.B \-p
|
|
flag.
|
|
Different protocols may set different host parameters.
|
|
Currently, two protocols are defined but only one protocol is supported.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.TP 15
|
|
.B \-p bootparams
|
|
Use the ``whoami'' call of the Sun RPC ``bootparams'' protocol.
|
|
This sets the system's
|
|
.IR hostname ,
|
|
.IR domainname ,
|
|
and
|
|
\fIdefault IP router\fR
|
|
parameters.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-p bootp
|
|
Use the BOOTP protocol [not currently supported].
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-d
|
|
Enable ``debug'' output.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-v
|
|
Enable verbose output.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-n
|
|
Run the network protocol, but do not set the acquired parameters into the
|
|
system.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-i " interface"
|
|
Use only the named network interface to run the protocol.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-f " hostname"
|
|
Run the protocol as if this machine were named
|
|
.IR hostname .
|
|
.SH EXAMPLES
|
|
.LP
|
|
To configure a machine's host parameters using the ``bootparams whoami''
|
|
protocol, getting a verbose output:
|
|
.IP
|
|
.B hostconfig \-p bootparams \-v
|
|
.LP
|
|
To see what parameters would be set using the ``bootparams whoami''
|
|
protocol:

|
.IP
|
|
.B hostconfig \-p bootparams \-n \-v
