NAME

       nca.if - the NCA configuration file that specifies physical interfaces

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/nca/nca.if

DESCRIPTION

       Specify  the  physical interfaces for which the Solaris Network Cache and Accelerator ("NCA") feature will be configured in the nca.if con-
       figuration file. List the physical interfaces in the file, one per line. To configure NCA to listen on all physical interfaces  present  on
       the system backed by a hostname.{interface_name}, then list only an asterik ("*") in nca.if.

       When  the ncakmod(1) initialization script is invoked during system boot, it will attempt to configure each physical interface specified in
       the nca.if file by using ncaconfd(1M). Note that there must be an accompanying hostname.{interface_name} file and an  entry  in  /etc/hosts
       for the contents of hostname.{interface_name}.

       You must reboot in order to implement changes to the nca.if file.

EXAMPLES

   x86
       Example 1: nca.if on x86

       The following is an example of an nca.if file that would be used on an x86 system:

       iprb1
       iprb6
       iprb8

   SPARC
       Example 2: nca.if on SPARC

       The following is an example of an nca.if file that would be used on a SPARC system:

       hme2
       hme3
       hme4

   All Platforms
       Example 3: Configuring NCA to Listen on All Physical Interfaces

       The following example shows the contents of an nca.if file that would be used to configure either platform to listen on all physical inter-
       faces present on the system:

       *

FILES

       /etc/nca/nca.if         Lists the physical interfaces on which NCA will run.

       /etc/hostname.{}{0-9}   Lists all physical interfaces configured on the server.

       /etc/hosts              Lists all host names associated with the server. Entries in  this  file  must  match  with  entries  in  /etc/host-
                               name.{}{0-9} for NCA to function.
