IPCONFIG(8)                                                        IPCONFIG(8)



NAME
       ipconfig, arpd, rip - Internet configuration and routing

SYNOPSIS
       ip/ipconfig [-abp] [-e etherdev] [-m ip-mask] [ipaddr]

       ip/arpd [-pd] [-e etherdev] [-b bcast-addr]

       ip/rip [-b]

DESCRIPTION
       Ipconfig configures an Internet connection on an Ethernet.  The options
       are

       a      do not start arpd

       b      do not use BOOTP to discover a gateway address

       p      start arpd in promiscuous mode (see below)

       e      use the Ethernet mounted at /net/etherdev

       m      set the network mask to ip-mask

       If ipaddr is specified on the command line, use  that  instead  of  one
       found in the local database or via the BOOTP protocol.

       Arpd  performs  the  Internet  Address Resolution Protocol, translating
       Internet addresses into Ethernet addresses.  It is normally started  by
       ipconfig.  The options are

       d      print debugging to standard output

       p      (promiscuous)  answer  ARP  requests for any recognized machine.
              The default is to answer just for the machine running arpd.

       e      use the Ethernet mounted at /net/etherdev

       b      use the IP broadcast address bcast-addr instead of  the  correct
              one.

       Rip  runs the routing protocol RIP.  It listens for RIP packets on con-
       nected networks and  updates  the  kernel  routing  tables.   The  only
       option, -b, broadcasts routing information onto the networks.
