Sets the required values for starting TCP/IP on a host.
To add a static IPv4 address:
mktcpip -hostname HostName -inetaddr Address -interface Interface [-start] [-netmask SubnetMask] [-cabletype CableType] [-gateway Gateway] [-nsrvaddr NameServerAddress -nsrvdomain Domain]
To run IPv6 stateless autoconfiguration:
mktcpip -auto [-interface Interface] [-hostname Hostname]
To add a static IPv6 address:
mktcpip -hostname HostName -inetaddr Address -interface Interface [-start] [-plen PrefixLength] [-cabletype CableType] [-gateway Gateway] [-nsrvaddr NameServerAddress -nsrvdomain Domain]
Flag name | Description |
---|---|
-auto | Enables IPv6 automatic stateless configuration. |
-cabletype CableType | Specifies the cable size for Standard Ethernet or IEEE 802.3 Ethernet networks. Valid values for the CableType variable are dix for thick cable, bnc for thin cable, or N/A for not applicable. The -cabletype CableType flag should be used only for Standard Ethernet (en) and IEEE 802.3 Ethernet (et) interfaces. The default is N/A. |
-gateway Gateway | Sets the gateway address for a static route. |
-hostname Hostname | Sets the name of the host. If using a domain
naming system, the domain and any subdomains must be specified. The
following is the standard format for setting the host name:
The
standard format for setting the host name in a domain naming system
is as follows: :
|
-inetaddr Address | Sets the IP address of the host. Each network
interface on the host should have a unique IP address. The standard
format for setting the IP address as follows: :
|
-interface Interface | Specifies a particular network interface, for
example:
|
-netmask SubnetMask | Specifies the mask that the gateway should use in determining the appropriate subnetwork for routing. The subnet mask is a set of 4 bytes, as in the IP address. The subnet mask consists of high bits (1 s) corresponding to the bit positions of the network and subnetwork address, and low bits (0s) corresponding to the bit positions of the host address. |
-nsrvaddr NameserverAddress | Specifies the IP address of the name server
that the host uses for name resolution, if applicable as follows:
|
-nsrvdomain Domain | Specifies the domain name of the name server
that the host should use for name resolution, if any. The domain name
should be in the format as follows: :
|
-plen prefixLen | Specifies the prefix length of the IPv6 interface. |
-start | Starts the TCP/IP daemons. |
