ipconfig(8) CLIX ipconfig(8)
NAME
ipconfig - Configures IP communication parameters
SYNOPSIS
ipconfig [argument value] [argument value ] ...
FLAGS
-lifetime units Specifies the amount of time (in units of 500
milliseconds) that other systems will consider valid an
IPDU sent from this system. If you do not specify a
value for this parameter, it defaults to 20 (10
seconds).
-checksum flag If flag is 0, the IP checksum mechanism is disabled.
Any other value enables it. If you do not specify a
value for this parameter, it defaults to 0 (disabled).
-report flag If flag is 0, the error report request bit in outgoing
IPDUs is not set; otherwise, it is set. This bit
specifies that if an error is detected in the IPDU, the
entity that detects the error may send an error report
(ER) PDU. If you do not specify a value for this
parameter, it defaults to 0 (disabled).
-segment flag If flag is zero, outgoing IPDUs cannot be segmented;
otherwise, they can be segmented. If you don't include
this argument, its value defaults to 1 (enabled).
Disabling segmentation is not recommended, and is not
necessary in the normal course of network operation.
-reasmbly units Specifies the maximum amount of time (in units of 500
milliseconds) in which all segments of an IPDU must be
received. If the lifetime parameter within the IPDU is
smaller, it takes precedence over the value specified in
this argument. If you don't include the reasmbly
argument, its value defaults to 20 (10 seconds).
-help Displays a list of command line options.
DESCRIPTION
Sets values of IP communications parameters, and displays current
parameter values.
EXAMPLES
The following example shows how to start the ipconfig command, and then
2/94 - Intergraph Corporation 1
ipconfig(8) CLIX ipconfig(8)
shows the command output:
ipconfig -lifetime 10 -reasmbly 50
PDU Lifetime (units of 500 milliseconds): 10
Network layer header checksum usage: 0
Error reporting enable (on outgoing PDU's): 0
Segmentation permitted (on outgoing PDU's): 1
Reassembly timer upper bound (units of 500 ms): 50
DIAGNOSTICS
could not open driver
Cause: the TP4/IP driver is not available.
Action: the most likely cause of this error is that the STREAMS
stack has not been initialized. Invoke the osid configuration
program.
ipconfig: unknown parameter
Cause: ipconfig did not recognize one or more of the arguments you
entered on the command line.
Action: check the list of argument names, and reenter the command
line.
ipconfig: cannot set name parameter
Cause: a value you specified was rejected by the TP4/IP module.
Action: use a different value.
