NAME

netsetup − Network setup program

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/netsetup

DESCRIPTION

The netsetup utility allows you to configure the networking software on your system. 

To run netsetup, enter the following command and then answer the questions:

# netsetup

You must know your Internet Protocol (IP) address. If your network uses subnet routing, you must know the subnet mask for your network.  The network manager should be able to provide you with the information that you need. 

Note

If your network uses subnet routing, remember to enter the subnet number as part of the host number.

After the netsetup command completes, the network services on the system can be restarted manually with the following command:

# /usr/sbin/rcinet restart

Before you restart the network services with the preceding command, warn the users that the network services on the system are being removed.  File systems that were not mounted using the /etc/fstab file or the automount command must be unmounted with the unmount command.  You must remount these file systems using the mount command after the network is started on your system. 

Alternatively, you can reboot the system with the following command:

# /usr/sbin/shutdown −r now
