Example of an automatically created interfaces.cfg file:
The meaning of the keywords in a section is the following:
active=
Advanced Server for UNIX NetBIOS supports the concept of active and inactive inter-
faces. NetBIOS will use only active interfaces to send broadcasts and will only use the
IP address of active interfaces. If you do not want Advanced Server for UNIX NetBIOS
to use a certain interface, mark it with an
active=no entry.
Note however, that you cannot prevent NetBIOS from sending and receiving packets
over an inactive interface which is UP in the sense of
ifconfig(1M) , because in general
it is up to the lower network layers to decide which interface is to be used.
If all interfaces are deactivated (i.e. have the entry active=no ), the first interface is
considered active. If the active= entry is missing, the corresponding network interface
is considered active.
You can also use the nbconfig command to dynamically activate or deactivate a precon-
figured interface.
