Managing Network Services
You can use networksetup to create or rename network services, turn them on or off,
remove them, and change the order in which they’re contacted. This application is also
useful for displaying the names of hardware ports:
m To display all hardware port names, type “networksetup -listallhardwareports”.
m To create a new network service on a port, type “networksetup -createnetworkservice
”.
m To duplicate an existing network service, type “networksetup -duplicatenetworkservice
”.
m To rename a network service, type “networksetup -renamenetworkservice
service > ”.
m To delete a network service, type “networksetup -removenetworkservice
service>”. If there is only one network service for a port, you can’t delete it using this
option. Instead, use -setnetworkserviceenabled to turn a network service off.
m To turn a network service on, type “networksetup -setnetworkserviceenabled
service> on”.
m To turn AppleTalk on, type “networksetup -setappletalk on”.
m To turn passive FTP on, type “networksetup -setpassiveftp on”.
m To set the order in which network services are contacted on a particular port, type
“networksetup -ordernetworkservices [...]”.
Designating Proxy Servers
You can use networksetup to designate servers to be used as proxies for some services:
m To set up proxy servers, use these networksetup commands:
-setftpproxy
-setwebproxy
-setsecurewebproxy
-setstreamingproxy
-setgopherproxy
-setsocksfirewallproxy
