Sets the IP address for the filers Ethernet and Gigabit
Ethernet interfaces with a default network mask. The
arguments in single backquotes expand to filer if
you specify filer as the host name during
setup
.
The actual IP addresses are obtained from the
/etc/
hosts
file on the root volume; you might prefer to
enter IP addresses directly in
/etc/rc
on the root vol-
ume. If the specified network interface is not present,
ifconfig
issues an error message and has no other
effect.
The actual interface names and numbers depend on
the specific filer. Refer to Naming Conventions for
Network Interfaces for more information about inter-
face names.
If you change the filers host name, you must modify
the
/etc/hosts
file on the root volume to substitute the
new host name. If you dont,
ifconfig
fails.
To override the default network mask, explicitly spec-
ify the network mask in the
ifconfig
command after
the host name; for example:

URXWHDGGGHIDXOW/RFDO5RXWHU
The preceding command specifies the default router.
You can add route commands to
/etc/rc
on the root
volume to set static routes for the filer. The network
address for LocalRouter must be in
/etc/hosts
on the
root volume.
URXWHGRQ
Starts the routing daemon. See the section,
Routing, in Chapter 4 for more information about
routing.
