HOSTNAME.IF(5) - File Formats Manual # HOSTNAME.IF(5) - File Formats Manual
NAME # hostname.if - interface-specific configuration files
DESCRIPTION # The hostname.*‌ files contain information regarding the configuration of each network interface. Interfaces are referenced by name and unit, such as “hostname.fxp0”. For some machines, autoconfiguration makes this system inconsistent, so interfaces can alternatively be referenced by their link layer address (lladdr), such as “hostname.00:00:5e:00:53:af”. Priority is given to configuration by interface lladdr over name/unit.

Ifconfig 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.

RAD(8) - System Manager’s Manual # RAD(8) - System Manager’s Manual
NAME # rad - router advertisement daemon
SYNOPSIS # rad [-dnv] [-f file] [-s socket]
DESCRIPTION # rad is an IPv6 router advertisement daemon. It periodically sends IPv6 router advertisement messages with prefix and default router information. Clients like slaacd(8) use these to configure IPv6 addresses on network interfaces and set default routes. Additionally it listens for IPv6 router solicitation messages and responds with router advertisements.

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.

SLAACD(8) - System Manager’s Manual # SLAACD(8) - System Manager’s Manual
NAME # slaacd - Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC) daemon
SYNOPSIS # slaacd [-dv] [-s socket]
DESCRIPTION # slaacd is a stateless address autoconfiguration (SLAAC) daemon for clients. It listens for IPv6 router advertisement messages, for example those sent by rad(8), on interfaces with the AUTOCONF6 flag set. slaacd derives IPv6 addresses and default routes from received router advertisements and installs them in the kernel.
