hostconfig
hostconfig(1M) System Administration Commands hostconfig(1M)
NAME
hostconfig - configure a system's host parameters
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/hostconfig -p protocol [-d] [ -h] [-n] [-v] [-i interface] [-f hostname]
DESCRIPTION
The hostconfig program uses a network protocol to acquire a machine's host parameters and set these parameters on the system.
The program selects which protocol to use based on the argument to the required -p flag. Different protocols may set different host param-
eters. Currently, only one protocol (bootparams) is defined.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-d Enable debug output.
-f hostname Run the protocol as if this machine were named hostname.
-h Echo the received hostname to stdout, rather than setting hostname using the system name directly.
-i interface Use only the named network interface to run the protocol.
-n Run the network protocol, but do not set the acquired parameters into the system.
-p protocol Run hostconfig using protocol. Currently, only one protocol (bootparams) is available. This option is required.
Specifying the -p bootparams option uses the whoami call of the RPC bootparams protocol. This sets the system's
hostname, domainname, and default IP router parameters.
-v Enable verbose output.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Configuring Host Parameters with Verbose Output
The following command configures a machine's host parameters using the whoami call of the RPC bootparams protocol with a verbose output.
example# hostconfig -p bootparams -v
Example 2: Displaying Host Parameters
The following command displays the parameters that would be set using the whoami call of the RPC bootparams protocol.
example# hostconfig -p bootparams -n -v
Example 3: Configuring Host Parameters Less the System Name
The following command configures a machine's host parameters, less the system name, using the whoami call of the RPC bootparams protocol.
example# hostconfig='hostconfig -p bootparams -h'
