nd --
network adapter driver start/stop script
Synopsis
/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
rc0(1M)
and
rc2(1M)
for further information.
The /etc/nd command accepts the following arguments:
- start
-
to start network drivers
- stop
-
to stop network drivers
- restart
-
to restart network drivers after hardware failure
- 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 an instance of the common DLPI
module to each MDI driver instance. The startup of
/etc/nd precedes the startup of network transport
stacks and other higher-level protocols.
Warnings
Do not manually edit the network driver startup and shutdown
scripts. Doing so may disable the drivers. Use the
Network Configuration Manager
to add and modify network adapter driver configuration.
