ARP(4) - Device Drivers Manual # ARP(4) - Device Drivers Manual NAME # arp - Address Resolution Protocol SYNOPSIS # pseudo-device ether DESCRIPTION # The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is used to dynamically map between Internet host addresses and Ethernet addresses. It is used by all of the Ethernet interface drivers. It is not specific to Internet protocols or to Ethernet, but this implementation currently supports only that combination. ...
IFCONFIG(8) - System Manager’s Manual # IFCONFIG(8) - System Manager’s Manual NAME # ifconfig - configure network interface parameters SYNOPSIS # ifconfig [-AaC] [-M lladdr] [interface] [address_family] [address [dest_address]] [parameters] DESCRIPTION # The ifconfig utility is used to assign an address to a network interface and/or configure network interface parameters. Generally speaking, hostname.if(5) files are used at boot-time to define the network address of each interface present on a machine; ifconfig is used at a later time to redefine an interface’s address or other operating parameters. ...
MYGATE(5) - File Formats Manual # MYGATE(5) - File Formats Manual NAME # mygate - default gateway DESCRIPTION # The mygate file is read by netstart(8) at system startup time. /etc/mygate, if it exists, contains the address of the gateway host. The gateway is added to the routing tables by the route(8) utility. If /etc/mygate does not exist, no default gateway is added to the routing tables. The file may contain gateway addresses for both IPv4 and IPv6 networks in dotted quad notation for v4 (e. ...
NETINTRO(4) - Device Drivers Manual # NETINTRO(4) - Device Drivers Manual NAME # netintro - introduction to networking facilities SYNOPSIS # #include <sys/socket.h> #include <net/route.h> #include <net/if.h> DESCRIPTION # This section is a general introduction to the networking facilities available in the system. Documentation in this part of section 4 is broken up into three areas: protocol families (domains), protocols, and network interfaces. All network protocols are associated with a specific protocol family. ...

RDOMAIN(4) - Device Drivers Manual # RDOMAIN(4) - Device Drivers Manual NAME # rtable, rdomain - routing tables and routing domains DESCRIPTION # The traditional kernel routing system had a single table for routes and allowed only non-conflicting IP address assignments. The rtable feature allows multiple lookup tables for routes. The rdomain feature provides a way to logically segment a router between network paths. Routing tables # Each rtable contains routes for outbound network packets. ...
RESOLVD(8) - System Manager’s Manual # RESOLVD(8) - System Manager’s Manual NAME # resolvd - a daemon to handle nameserver configuration SYNOPSIS # resolvd [-dv] DESCRIPTION # resolvd handles the contents of /etc/resolv.conf, which contains details of the system’s DNS nameservers, and is read by the resolver routines in the C library. Nameservers are learned from various sources, incorporated in a priority order, then user-edited information found in the pre-existing file is re-appended. ...
ROUTE(4) - Device Drivers Manual # ROUTE(4) - Device Drivers Manual NAME # route - kernel packet forwarding database SYNOPSIS # #include <sys/socket.h> #include <net/if.h> #include <net/route.h> int socket(AF_ROUTE, SOCK_RAW, family); DESCRIPTION # OpenBSD provides some packet routing facilities. The kernel maintains a routing information database, which is used in selecting the appropriate network interface when transmitting packets. A user process (or possibly multiple co-operating processes) maintains this database by sending messages over a special kind of socket. ...
ROUTE(8) - System Manager’s Manual # ROUTE(8) - System Manager’s Manual NAME # route - manually manipulate the routing tables SYNOPSIS # route [-dnqtv] [-T rtable] command [[modifier …] arg …] DESCRIPTION # At system start, routing tables are initialised and configured by netstart(8). The route utility can be used to view or manually manipulate the network routing tables. Only the superuser may modify the routing tables. The options are as follows: ...
