Interacts with the IP Configuration Agent of configd to manage network configuration changes.
Options/Usage
- getifaddr
Prints the specified network interface’s IP address to standard output.
- getoption
Prints the value of the specified DHCP option to standard output. If
interfaceis specified, the option is interface-specific. If empty quotes are used instead, the option is global. Option names and numeric codes are DHCP-standard (such ashost_name,domain_name,netinfo_server_address, etc.).- getpacket
Prints DHCP transaction packets to standard output.
- ifcount
Prints the number of network interfaces to standard output.
- set
Sets the method by which the specified network interface is assigned an IP address. Using BOOTP or DHCP causes the system to attempt to contact a server of the appropriate type to obtain IP configuration information. Using INFORM sets the IP address locally, but initiates a DHCP request to obtain additional IP configuration information (DNS servers, default gateway, etc.). Using MANUAL indicates that all IP configuration information is set locally.
- waitall
Sets the configurations of all network interfaces according to the specifications in /etc/iftab.
