<H2>NAME</H2><PRE>
ifconfig - configure a TCP/IP device
</PRE>
<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE>
<STRONG>ifconfig</STRONG> [<STRONG>-I</STRONG> <EM>ip</EM>-<EM>device</EM>] [<STRONG>-h</STRONG> <EM>ipaddr</EM>] [<STRONG>-n</STRONG> <EM>netmask</EM>] [<STRONG>-iv</STRONG>]
</PRE>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
<STRONG>Ifconfig</STRONG> initializes a TCP/IP device setting the IP address and/or
netmask. It will report the address and netmask set. This command may
be used if the system has not been configured properly yet. It is only
used at boot time to set a fixed address for a system without a physical
ethernet. Normally the <STRONG>inet</STRONG> task will find it out by itself from the
RARP server.
</PRE>
<H2>OPTIONS</H2><PRE>
<STRONG>-h</STRONG> The decimal TCP/IP address to set.
<STRONG>-n</STRONG> The netmask to set.
<STRONG>-i</STRONG> Don't set the IP address or netmask if already set. This way
ifconfig cannot interfere if the numbers have been found out by
RARP.
<STRONG>-v</STRONG> Report IP address and netmask. This is the default action if there
are no other options.
