NAME

       ipconfig, arpd, rip - Internet configuration and routing

SYNOPSIS

       ip/ipconfig [-abp] [-e etherdev] [-m ip-mask] [ipaddr]

       ip/arpd [-pd] [-e etherdev] [-b bcast-addr]

       ip/rip [-b]

DESCRIPTION

       Ipconfig configures an Internet connection on an Ethernet.  The options are

       a      do not start arpd

       b      do not use BOOTP to discover a gateway address

       p      start arpd in promiscuous mode (see below)

       e      use the Ethernet mounted at /net/etherdev

       m      set the network mask to ip-mask

       If ipaddr is specified on the command line, use that instead of one found in the local database or via the BOOTP protocol.

       Arpd  performs the Internet Address Resolution Protocol, translating Internet addresses into Ethernet addresses.  It is normally started by
       ipconfig.  The options are

       d      print debugging to standard output

       p      (promiscuous) answer ARP requests for any recognized machine.  The default is to answer just for the machine running arpd.

       e      use the Ethernet mounted at /net/etherdev

       b      use the IP broadcast address bcast-addr instead of the correct one.

       Rip runs the routing protocol RIP.  It listens for RIP packets on connected networks and updates  the  kernel  routing  tables.	 The  only
       option, -b, broadcasts routing information onto the networks.
