UNIX management commands are available for system managers
experienced in managing a UNIX network subsystem. The following
table introduces these commands.
Command Description
arp Controls and displays ARP tables for the specified
host.
ifconfig Configures or displays network interface
parameters, redefines an address for a particular
interface, or sets options such as an alias list,
broadcast address, or access filter.
netstat Displays network statistics of sockets, data link
counter aliases, network interfaces, and a host's
routing table.
nfsstat Displays statistical information about the network
file system (NFS) and remote procedural call (RPC)
interfaces in the kernel. It can also be used to
reinitialize this information.
ripquery Requests all routes known by a RIP gateway by
sending a RIP request or a POLL command.
route Allows you to manipulate the routing table
manually. Normally, a system routing table
management component, such as GATED or ROUTED,
will tend to this task.
sysconfig Manages and displays the network attributes in the
kernel subsystem configuration.
sysconfigdb Manages and displays network attributes
in the subsystem configuration table
(TCPIP$ETC:SYSCONFIGTAB.DAT).
traceroute Displays the route that packets take to a network
host.
whois Displays user, host, and organization names in the
Network Information Center (NIC) database.
For more information, see the help available at the TCPIP>
prompt. For example, to display ifconfig flags and parameters,
enter the following:
