5.1.2 Configuring Network Interfaces
5.1.2.1 The interfaces.cfg file
In general every network interface for which TCP/IP is supported can be used by Advanced
Server’s NetBIOS.The file
/var/opt/nbrfc/conf/interfaces.cfg is used to describe the network
interfaces to be used by NetBIOS and their properties.
This file is automatically created during NetBIOS installation, if it does not already exist. In
many cases it is not necessary to change this automatically created file. Depending on the
TCP/IP configuration at the creation time of the file there are several sections each
describing a network interface. The syntax of a section is the following:
Syntax of a section in interfaces.cfg :
[]
active=yes | no
used_by_wins=yes | no
ip_addr=default |
brdcast_addr=default |
brdcast_list=
netmask=default |
Within a section,

section. The name is given inside square brackets.

notation. (Usually you will use the “default” keyword instead.)
is the broadcast address of the interface given in dotted decimal
notation. (Usually you will use the “default” keyword instead.)
is an optional (!) comma-separated list of broadcast addresses
given in dotted decimal notation.
is the netmask of the interface given in dotted decimal notation
or as a hex value. (Usually you will use the “default” keyword
instead.)
