NETIFMANAGER(1M)                                              NETIFMANAGER(1M)



NAME
     NetIfManager - Network Interface Manager

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/sysadm/bin/runcatalog /usr/sysadm/catalogdf/SaNetIfCatalog.cdf

DESCRIPTION
     Managers display information about your system and provide access to
     interactive guides (also called tasks) that let you administer your
     system.

     The Network Interface Manager displays a list of network interfaces, that
     are currently installed on your system. It also allows you to get the
     interface status, and configure an interface using the Set Up and Start
     Networking guide.

     In the Manager window, you can open a guide by choosing its name from the
     Task menu or by clicking its button at the bottom of the window.

GUIDES
     Guides, also called "tasks," are interactive windows that lead users
     through the steps necessary to perform various system administration
     tasks, such as adding new user accounts and configuring networking on the
     system.

     A guide typically consists of a series of pages that prompt users to
     enter information or select options. A user navigates through guide pages
     using the Prev and Next buttons (or corresponding arrow keys).  When the
     user reaches the last page of a guide and clicks the OK button, the
     system executes one or more commands to perform the system administration
     task. These commands are located in /usr/sysadm/privcmd.

     Many of the guides require that a user either know the root password or
     be assigned the necessary privileges (using the PrivilegeManager(1M)) in
     order to perform the task.

     Set Up and Start Networking
               This task lets you set up your workstation on an existing
               network.

               The privilege needed for this task is: Configure Network

               Also see configNetIf(1M) for more information.

     Turn Off Networking
               This task lets you turn off networking on your workstation.

               The privilege needed for this task is: Configure Network

               Also see configNetIf(1M) for more information.

     Modify Networking Settings
               This task allows you to modify various networking related
               settings on your workstation.

               The following privileges are needed to do this task:

               Set the state of the primary network interface: Configure
               Primary Interface
               Add or delete default route: Default Route
               Enables or disables IP forwarding: Configure IP Forwarding
               Add a host to the local hosts file: Add Host
               Set the DNS name server entries: Set DNS Name Servers

               Also see configec0state(1M), configdefaultRoute(1M),
               configipforwardstate(1M), addhost(1M), setNameServers(1M) for
               more information.

     Set Up and Start NIS
               This task allows you to enable Network Information Service on
               your workstation. By making use of NIS, your workstation has
               access to a database of information about other workstations on
               the network.

               The privileges needed for this task are: Setup NIS, Configure
               Resolver

               Also see nisSetup(1M), configResolver(1M).

     Turn Off NIS
               This task lets you stop using Network Information Service on
               your workstation.

               The privilege needed for this task is: Setup NIS

               Also see nisSetup(1M).

     Set Up and Start NFS
               This task allows you to turn the Network File System Service
               on, and choose one of Automount or AutoFS facility, for
               temporarily mounting remote file systems on your workstation.

               The privilege needed for this task is: Setup NFS

               Also see nfsSetup(1M).

     Turn Off NFS
               This task lets you stop using NFS. When you turn off NFS, you
               will no longer be able to access filesystems located on remote
               workstations on the network.

               The privilege needed for this task is: Setup NFS
