netstrategy - return network configuration information
/sbin/netstrategy
The netstrategy command determines the network configuration strategy
in use on a system and returns information in a form that is easily
consumable by a script. The command returns three tokens:
<root filesystem type> <primary interface> <network config strategy>
These tokens are described as follows:
<root filesystem type>
Type of filesystem that contains the bootable kernel, as would be
specified in the fstype column of the mnttab(5).
<primary interface>
Name of the primary network interface. For a diskless machine,
this is the interface used to load the kernel.
<network config strategy>
The means by which a system obtains its IP address for booting.
This can be one of rarp, dhcp, or none.
The netstrategy command is not intended for use on a command line.
The netstrategy command has no options.
0
