List of TCP/IP Commands

chnamsv Changes Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) based name service configuration on a host.
chprtsv Changes a print service configuration on a client or server machine.
hostent Directly manipulates address-mapping entries in the system configuration database.
ifconfig Configures or displays network interface parameters for a network, using TCP/IP.
mknamsv Configures TCP/IP-based name service on a host for a client.
mkprtsv Configures TCP/IP-based print service on a host.
mktcpip Sets the required values for starting TCP/IP on a host.
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.
iptrace Provides interface-level packet tracing for Internet protocols.
lsnamsv Shows name service information stored in the database.
lsprtsv Shows print service information stored in the database.
mkhosts Generates the host table file.
namerslv Directly manipulates domain name server entries for local resolver routines in the system configuration database.
netstat Shows network status.
route Manually manipulates the routing tables.
ruser Directly manipulates entries in three separate system databases that control foreign host access to programs.
ruptime Displays the status of each host on a network.
securetcpip Enables the network security feature.
setclock Sets the time and date for a host on a network.
timedc Returns information about the timed daemon.
trpt Performs protocol tracing on Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) sockets.

rwhod Provides the server function for the rwho and ruptime commands.
syslogd Reads and logs system messages.
talkd Provides the server function for the talk command.
telnetd Provides the server function for the TELNET protocol.
tftpd Provides the server function for the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP).
timed Invokes the timeserver daemon at system startup time.

List of Methods

Device methods are programs associated with a device that perform basic device configuration operations. See List of TCP/IP Programming References in in AIX 5L Version 5.2 Communications Programming Concepts for information about TCP/IP methods.

List of TCP/IP Files

/etc/rc.bsdnet  

See List of TCP/IP Programming References in in AIX 5L Version 5.2 Communications Programming Concepts for information about TCP/IP files and file formats.

List of RFCs

For a list of the RFCs (Request for Comments) supported by this operating system, see the List of TCP/IP Programming References in in AIX 5L Version 5.2 Communications Programming Concepts.
