| no | Configures network options. |
| rmnamsv | Unconfigures TCP/IP-based name service on a host. |
| rmprtsv | Unconfigures a print service on a client or server machine. |
| slattach | Attaches serial lines as network interfaces. |
| arp | Displays or changes the Internet address to hardware address translation tables used by the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP). |
| gettable | Gets Network Information Center (NIC) format host tables from a host. |
| hostid | Sets or displays the identifier of the current local host. |
| hostname | Sets or displays the name of the current host system. |
| htable | Converts host files to the format used by network library routines. |
| ipreport | Generates a packet trace report from the specified packet trace file. |
