Configuration tools

The following tools are available for examining and/or changing tunable parameters:

configure

A menu-driven program that allows you to examine and modify the value of tunable kernel parameters. This program is also accessible via the Hardware/Kernel Manager. See ``Using configure to change kernel resources'' and configure(ADM) for more information.

getconf

This utility reports configuration-dependent values for various standards and for dynamic kernel tables; use setconf to modify temporarily those values that relate to dynamic kernel tables. See ``Examining and changing configuration-dependent values'' and getconf(C) for more information.

idtune

Modify the values of some tunable parameters (defined in /etc/conf/cf.d/mtune) that cannot be modified with configure. See ``Using idtune to reallocate kernel resources'' and idtune(ADM) for more information.

iddeftune

Run this command to modify the values of certain tunable parameters if you increase the amount of physical memory (RAM) to more than 32MB. See iddeftune(ADM) for more information.

ifconfig

Reconfigure the TCP/IP protocol stack belonging to a single network interface. See ``Using ifconfig to change parameters for a network card'' and ifconfig(ADMN) for more information.

inconfig

Reconfigure default TCP/IP settings for all network interfaces. See ``Using inconfig to change global TCP/IP parameters'' and inconfig(ADMN) for more information.

Network Configuration Manager

Examine, configure, or modify network protocol stacks (chains). The Network Configuration Manager is the graphical version of netconfig(ADM). See ``Configuring network connections'' for more information.

setconf

Increase dynamic kernel table sizes, or decrease maximum size of dynamic kernel tables. The new value only remains in force until the system is next rebooted. See ``Examining and changing configuration-dependent values'' and setconf(ADM) for more information.
