To view the current NetBIOS configuration:

Ê

At the command prompt, type

/var/opt/nbrfc/bin/nbconfig -i

If there are changes in the system network configuration – by adding or removing
network interfaces – the NetBIOS configuration can be synchronized in different ways:

If there were already manual changes in the file

interfaces.cfg

which must be kept, then

a manual change with help of an editor is recommended

.

The right values for the

parameters “ip_addr”, “brdcast_addr”, und “netmask” can be found out with the help of
the command

ifconfig(1M)

in case you cannot use the keyword

default.

If this is not the case (e.g. after installation) you should create a new file with the help
of the tool

cr_interfaces

.

To add or remove network interfaces:

Ê

Edit the

interfaces.cfg

file. Delete sections and/or copy existing sections and modify the

parameters as appropriate. Whenever possible, use the “default” keyword.

or

Ê

Save the existing

interfaces.cfg

under a different name and create a new one by typing

/var/opt/nbrfc/bin/cr_interfaces

To check an existing configuration file

interfaces.cfg

without actually activating the

new configuration:

Ê

At the command prompt, type

/var/opt/nbrfc/bin/get_config

You should compare the output of this command with the output of the corresponding

ifconfig(1M)

commands.

To activate any changes you made to the NetBIOS configuration:

If Advanced Server for UNIX is running,

Ê

Restart the Advanced Server for UNIX using the commands

asx stop; asx start

else

Ê

Restart NetBIOS using the commands

nbrfc stop; nbrfc start
