netconfig
This command starts an interactive script that allows you to congure the IP network subsystem of
the Sonoma. By default, the unit is congured to congure itself using the Dynamic Host Congura-
tion Protocol (DHCP). If you need to set up static IP conguration, you must run this script as root
from the RS-232 serial I/O port during the installation process. Refer to Chapter 2 - Basic Installa-
tion, Using netconfig to Set Up Your IP for details on the use of the command.
This script creates or modies these les: /etc/HOSTNAME, /etc/hosts, /etc/networks, /etc/resolv.conf
and /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf. All of these are non-volatilely stored in the FLASH disk /boot/etc direc-
tory. You must reboot the Sonoma after running this script for the changes to take effect.
Command: netconfig
Sonoma reply: Interactive script is started.
ntpconfig
This command starts an interactive script that allows you to congure the NTP Subsystem of the
Sonoma. By default, the unit is congured to authenticate its replies to clients using its default MD5
keys in the /etc/ntp.keys le. If you need to create your own MD5 keys (recommended) or set up
broadcast/multicast operation, you must run this script as root. Refer to Chapter 3 - Configure the
NTP Server for details on the use of this command.
The two les that are modied are /etc/ntp.keys and /etc/ntp.conf. Both of these are non-volatilely
stored in the FLASH disk /boot/etc directory. You must reboot the Sonoma after running this script
for the changes to take effect.
Command: ntpconfig
Sonoma reply: Interactive script is started.
ntpstat
This command provides some key information regarding the operation of the NTP daemon. It shows
the current offset between the NTP-steered system clock and the CDMA Subsystem, the counts of
received, sent and dropped packets, and the sent packet rate. The format of the response is:
YYYYMMDD.HH:MM:SS +S.sssssssss RCVDCNT SENTCNT SENT/sec DROPCNT
Where:
YYYY is the year of the UTC timestamp of the most recent update received from the CDMA
Subsystem.
MMDD is the month and day-of-month of the UTC timestamp of the most recent update received
from the CDMA Subsystem.
HH:MM:SS is the hour, minute and second of the UTC timestamp of the most recent update received
from the CDMA Subsystem.
