Lists of Programming References

The following lists provide references for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP):

See "List of TCP/IP Commands" in AIX 5L Version 5.2 System Management Guide: Communications and Networks for information about commands and daemons for using and managing Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).

Methods

cfgif Configures an interface instance in the system configuration database.
cfginet Loads and configures an Internet instance and its associated instances.
chgif Reconfigures an instance of a network interface.
chginet Reconfigures the Internet instance.
defif Defines a network interface in the configuration database.
definet Defines an inet instance in the system configuration database.
stpinet Disables the inet instance.
sttinet Enables the inet instance.
ucfgif Unloads an interface instance from the kernel.
ucfginet Unloads the Internet instance and all related interface instances from the kernel.
udefif Removes an interface object from the system configuration database.
udefinet Undefines the Internet instance in the configuration database.
