INETCFG
The Internetworking Configuration utility (INETCFG) is a menu-
driven utility used to configure the Emulex software.
You can run INETCFG while the router or server is operating. Each
time the utility is used, it reads the existing AUTOEXEC.NCF file
and optionally transfers the LOAD and BIND commands to a
configuration file that is referenced at system initialization (or
reinitialization). This eliminates manual reconfiguration of existing
servers. Always allow INETCFG to automatically update
configuration when prompted.
You must use INETCFG to configure the network environment.
Warning: Do not use text editors to modify the
configuration. Directly editing the
INETCFG files may cause the system to
encounter serious problems requiring a
complete reload of the Netware operating
system
Most configuration changes take effect only after you bring down the
system and restart it. For example, if you enable or disable a board,
or change parameters on a board, you must bring down the server
and restart the system.
INETCFG Menus
INETCFG uses a series of menus, windows and dialog boxes to
configure related sets of parameters. This configuration interface
allows you to enter names of new interfaces, specify parameters and
override defaults without having to use the command line.
The items in the main Internetworking Configuration menu
correspond to the basic steps used to configure Emulex DCP_link.
These items should be configured in the order presented in the
configuration procedures.
