Description
The command allows you to add your system to a local area network
(LAN). It also enables you to update the and files.
To add your system to a LAN, bring the system to single-user mode.
Then run the command with the option and answer the questions. The
network manager should be able to provide you with the information that
you need. You will need to know your network number and your host num‐
ber. In addition, you need to find out your Internet Protocol (IP)
broadcast address and if the LAN uses all zeros (0) or ones (1). Fur‐
thermore, you have to know if the LAN uses subnet routing. If the
answer is yes, then you need to know how many bits of the host part of
the Internet address are used to specify the subnet part of the network
address. If your LAN uses subnet routing, remember to enter the subnet
number as part of the host number. After the command has completed,
reboot the system.
To add or modify hosts in the or files, run the command without the
option and answer all the questions. There is no need to bring the
system to single-user mode to update these files.
