NETIFMANAGER(1M)NETIFMANAGER(1M)NAMENetIfManager - 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.
