Use nbconfig either to display the current configuration or to dynamically activate or deac-
tivate certain interfaces without having to restart NetBIOS.

Syntax:

nbconfig -i
nbconfig -e | -d [ ... ]
nbconfig -E | -D |

[ | ... ]

Options:

-i

The current NetBIOS configuration is read from the kernel and displayed.

-e | -d [ ... ]

The interface with the specified is activated (-e option) or deactivated
(-d option). Use the output of a previous

nbconfig -i

command to get the correct

number () of the interface you want to activate or deactivate.

-E | -D |

[ | ... ]

The interface with the specified name or the specified IP address
is activated (-E option) or deactivated (-D option). Use the output of a
previous

nbconfig -i

command to get the correct name () or IP

address () of the interface you want to activate or deactivate.
“default” may not be used for .

Deactivating an interface does not make deactivation under UNIX obsolete in terms

of removing a controller fully from the network. The deactivation simply prevents
NetBIOS from sending broadcasts to the subnetworks and from using the IP
address as the source address. NetBIOS will still send and receive packets over an
interface which is UP in the sense of

ifconfig(1M)

, even if it is deactivated by

nbconfig

.
