nd --
network adapter driver start/stop script
Syntax
/etc/nd start [ interface ]
/etc/nd stop [ interface ]
/etc/nd restart [ interface ]
Description
The /etc/nd command is used to start or stop
configured network adapter drivers. Configured network
adapter drivers will start automatically at system startup
time if /etc/nd is linked to
/etc/rc2.d/S35dlpi. Similarly, configured network
adapter drivers will stop automatically at system shutdown
time if /etc/nd is linked to
/etc/rc0.d/K97dlpi. See the
rc0(ADM)
and
rc2(ADM)
manual pages for further information.
WARNING: Do not manually edit the
network driver startup and shutdown scripts. Doing so may
disable the drivers. Use the Network Configuration
Manager to add or modify network adapter driver
configuration.
The /etc/nd command accepts the following arguments:
stop-
to stop network drivers
start-
to start network drivers
restart-
to restart network drivers that are not performing
adequately without stopping stack activity
interface-
the name of the driver to be started or stopped. The name is in
the form netn-1, where n is the
number of adapters configured in your system. Without this
argument, /etc/nd starts or stops all configured
drivers.
The /etc/nd command starts the dlpid
daemon, which links each MDI driver
installed in the system to the common DLPI module.
The startup of /etc/nd generally
precedes the startup of network transport
stacks and other higher-level protocols.
