3.2.1.5 ei*0_inet_init or ew*0_inet_init

The ei*0_inet_init or ew*0_inet_init environment variable determines
whether the interface’s internal Internet database is initialized from
nvram or from a network server (through the bootp protocol).

Legal values are nvram and bootp. The default value is bootp. Set this
environment variable if you are booting Tru64 UNIX from a RIS server.

To list the network devices on your system, enter the show device command.
The Ethernet controllers start with the letters “ ei” or “ ew,” for example, ewa0.
The third letter is the adapter ID for the specific Ethernet controller. Replace
the asterisk (*) with the adapter ID letter when entering the command.

The syntax is:

set ei*0_inet_init value or
set ew*0_inet_init value

Example

P00>>> set ewa0_inet_init bootp
