rc.tcpip, rc.tcpip.local



PURPOSE

Sets up host names and addresses, initializes routes, and starts the TCP/IP
daemons.

SYNOPSIS

/etc/rc.tcpip, /[LOCAL]/rc.tcpip.local

DESCRIPTION

The rc.tcpip file contains the commands necessary to run TCP/IP.  The file
rc.tcpip contains commands that run on every site in a TCF cluster.  The file
rc.tcpip.local is stored in the <LOCAL> file system in a TCF cluster and can be
customized by the system administrator to run commands specific to a particular
cluster site.  The ifconfig command defines the interfaces (adapter cards) to
be configured.  The hostname command defines the host name and Internet
address.  The route command sets the routing tables statically.  The remaining
entries execute the TCP/IP daemons.

The daemon, inetd, acts as a super daemon for many of the basic TCP/IP
services.  When requests for those services arrive, inetd runs the appropriate
daemon.  The remaining daemons not supported by inetd are:

   named
   routed
   timed
   rwhod

These daemons are not started by the inetd command because they generally do
not run on all hosts.

If TCP/IP is to be initialized when the system is started, the following line
must be in the system startup script file:

   sh /etc/rc.tcpip
