Abstract

With AIX, you can configure your TCP/IP network with a single

command, mktcpip. On other systems, setting up TCP/IP might involve

creating and editing multiple files, executing a number of commands, setting

various variables, locating values for persistence after reboot, and starting

several daemons. The mktcpip command completes all the necessary TCP/IP

configuration tasks for a typical system. The process is even easier when you

use the System Management Interface Tool (SMIT) to prompt you for all

necessary parameters to configure your network.
