How do I configure TCP/IP on an old SCO UNIX 3.2 v4.0
I can't seem to find any type of documentation on it.
Can someone give me step by step info or refer some type of article?
What do you mean configure tcp/ip? Networking is intrinsic to the *IX OS, could you be a bit more specific please.
Regards.
I need to change the gateway, IP address, subnet mask...
thanx
gateway: /etc/defaultrouter
subnet mask: /etc/netmasks
IP address: man ifconfig
if your changeing hostname also you need to change:
/etc/hostname.<interface>
This is how it is on my solaris machines. AIX is a bit differant from what i saw.
Thanx for the reply. One more thing, the system is an SCO 3.2 v.4.2 machine it's about 7 years old. Will the configuration you just sent me still work with it, even though the machine is pretty old?
teh date of a machine is not really an important matter. On sco i dont know if its files are in the same place as i mentioned. but on most versions of unix what i said is true.
You may want to use "sysadmsh"
to do this. Look at the "Network" menu.
You may also want to look at the "route"
man page.
I don't have this file... do I create it?
What is the format I use to point to my router?
SCO does not use /etc/defaultrouter.
The SCO System Administration Guide
recommends using the system administration
tool "sysadmsh" to configure network
parameters. If you don't have the guide,
check the man page for sysadmsh.
Unfortunately, I don't have access to
a SCO box but I do have the admin books.
rwb1959,
Where can I find the admin books you mentioned? What are the titles?
gguzman,
I have the actual set of SCO manuals published
in Feb, 1993. The manual I mentioned is:
SCO UNIX Operating System
System Administrator's Guide
I don't know if you'll be able to get one
from SCO (now Caldera) but it has 2 bar codes:
On the back cover: AU01211P001
On last page: BH01207P001
What I would suggest is that you try out
the system admin shell. Login as root
and run: sysadmsh
It is a terminal based utility so I would
recommend a vt220 or ASNI compatable terminal.
You should probably make sure your TERM
environement variable is set to whatever
terminal you are using and exported prior to
running sysadmsh.
Thanx, I'll do some research on obtaining these books.
