System Administration Commands | hostconfig(1M) |
| hostconfig - configure a system's host parameters |
SYNOPSIS
| /usr/sbin/hostconfig -p protocol [-d] [ -h] [-n] [-v] [-i interface] [-f hostname] |
|
The hostconfig program uses a network protocol to acquire a machine's host parameters and
set these parameters on the system.
The program selects which protocol to use based on the argument to the required -p flag. Different protocols may set different host parameters. Currently, only one protocol (bootparams) is defined.
|
|
The following options are supported:
- -d
- Enable debug output.
- -f hostname
- Run the protocol as if this machine were named hostname.
- -h
- Echo the received hostname to stdout, rather than setting hostname using the system name directly.
- -i interface
- Use only the named network interface to run the protocol.
- -n
- Run the network protocol, but do not set the acquired parameters into the system.
- -p protocol
- Run hostconfig using protocol. Currently, only one protocol (bootparams) is available. This option is required.
Specifying the -p bootparams option uses the whoami call of the RPC bootparams protocol. This sets the system's hostname, domainname, and default IP router parameters.
- -v
- Enable verbose output.
|
| Example 1. Configuring Host Parameters with Verbose Output
|
The following command configures a machine's host parameters using the whoami call of the RPC bootparams protocol with a verbose output.
|
example# hostconfig -p bootparams -v
|
|
Example 2. Displaying Host Parameters
|
The following command displays the parameters that would be set using the whoami call of the RPC bootparams protocol.
|
example# hostconfig -p bootparams -n -v
|
|
Example 3. Configuring Host Parameters Less the System Name
|
The following command configures a machine's host parameters, less the system name, using the whoami call of the RPC bootparams protocol.
|
example# hostconfig='hostconfig -p bootparams -h'
