netsetup(8)
NAME
  netsetup - Network setup program

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/sbin/netsetup

DESCRIPTION
  The netsetup utility allows you to configure the networking software on
  your system.

  Note that the netsetup script has been retired and replaced by the SysMan
  tool suite. You should configure networking on your system by executing the
  following command, which invokes a graphical user interface:

       # /usr/sbin/sysman net_wizard

  See sysman(8) for more details, including information about command-line
  support. If you still need to use netsetup itself, you must install the
  OSRETIREDCLINETxxx subset.

  To run netsetup, enter the following command and then answer the questions:

       # netsetup

  You must know your Internet Protocol (IP) address. If your network uses
  subnet routing, you must know the subnet mask for your network. The network
  manager should be able to provide you with the information that you need.

				     Note

       If your network uses subnet routing, remember to enter the subnet
       number as part of the host number.

  After the netsetup command completes, the network services on the system
  can be restarted manually with the following command:

       # /usr/sbin/rcinet restart

  Before you restart the network services with the preceding command, warn
  the users that the network services on the system are being removed.	File
  systems that were not mounted using the /etc/fstab file or the automount
  command must be unmounted with the unmount command. You must remount these
  file systems using the mount command after the network is started on your
  system.

  Alternatively, you can reboot the system with the following command:

       # /usr/sbin/shutdown -r now
