ipconfig, arpd − Internet configuration

SYNOPSIS

­ip/ipconfig [-ap] [-e etherdev] [-m ip-mask] [ipaddr]

­ip/arpd [-pd] [-e etherdev] [-b bcast-addr]

DESCRIPTION

­Ipconfig configures an Internet connection on an Ethernet.  The options are

­a do not start ­arpd

­p start ­arpd in promiscuous mode (see below)

­e use the Ethernet mounted at /net/etherdev

­m set the network mask to ­ip-mask

If ­ipaddr is specified on the command line, use that instead of one found int the local database or via the Bootp protocol. 

­Arpd performs the Internet Address Resolution Protocol, translating Internet addresses into Ethernet addresses.  It is normally started by ipconfig. The options are

­d print debugging to standard output

­p (promiscuous) answer ARP requests for any recognized machine.  The default is to answer just for the machine running ­arpd. 

­e use the Ethernet mounted at /net/etherdev

­b use the IP broadcast address ­bcast-addr instead of the correct one.
