NCA.IF(4)NCA.IF(4)NAMEnca.if - the NCA configuration file that specifies physical interfaces
SYNOPSIS
/etc/nca/nca.if
DESCRIPTION
Specify the physical interfaces for which the Solaris Network Cache and
Accelerator ("NCA") feature will be configured in the nca.if configura‐
tion file. List the physical interfaces in the file, one per line. To
configure NCA to listen on all physical interfaces present on the sys‐
tem backed by a hostname.{interface_name}, then list only an asterik
("*") in nca.if.
When the ncakmod(1) initialization script is invoked during system
boot, it will attempt to configure each physical interface specified in
the nca.if file by using ncaconfd(1M). Note that there must be an
accompanying hostname.{interface_name} file and an entry in /etc/hosts
for the contents of hostname.{interface_name}.
You must reboot in order to implement changes to the nca.if file.
EXAMPLES
x86
Example 1 nca.if on x86
The following is an example of an nca.if file that would be used on an
x86 system:
iprb1
iprb6
iprb8
SPARC
Example 2 nca.if on SPARC
The following is an example of an nca.if file that would be used on a
SPARC system:
hme2
hme3
hme4
All Platforms
Example 3 Configuring NCA to Listen on All Physical Interfaces
The following example shows the contents of an nca.if file that would
be used to configure either platform to listen on all physical inter‐
faces present on the system:
*
FILES
/etc/nca/nca.if
Lists the physical interfaces on which NCA
will run.
/etc/hostname.{}{0-9}
Lists all physical interfaces configured on
the server.
/etc/hosts
Lists all host names associated with the
server. Entries in this file must match with
entries in /etc/hostname.{}{0-9} for NCA to
function.
