Static Networking *TIP*

RE: Static Networking *TIP*
Hi defaultrouteuk & others,

there are a couple of other configuration files that need to be used including (IRIX 6.5):
- /etc/config/netif.options - to override the default network interface/name if you have multiple network cards in you machine
- /etc/ethers - provides mapping between MAC address and host name (use "netstat -ian" to get MAC addresses of your interfaces)
- /etc/config/proclaim.options - to control DHCP behaviour (I know it is not "static", but the DHCP behaviour is messy on IRIX as it is dependent on some of the static setup)

Cheers from Oz,

jwhat/John
