The sample /etc/rc file shows default startup commands.
#Auto-generated /etc/rc Tue May 30 14:51:36 PST 2000 hostname toaster ifconfig e0 `hostname`-0 ifconfig e1 `hostname`-1 ifconfig f0 `hostname`-f0 ifconfig a5 `hostname`-a5 route add default MyRouterBox routed on savecore
The following table explains the sample /etc/rc file
| Description | Explanation |
|---|---|
hostname toaster |
Sets the storage system host name to “toaster.” |
ifconfig e0 `hostname`-0 ifconfig e1 `hostname`-1 ifconfig f0 `hostname`-f0 ifconfig a5 `hostname`-a5 |
Sets the IP addresses for the storage system network interfaces with a default network mask. The arguments in single backquotes expand to “toaster” if you specify “toaster” as the host name during setup. The actual IP addresses are obtained from the /etc/hosts file on the storage system root volume. If you prefer to have the actual IP addresses in the /etc/rc file, you can enter IP addresses directly in /etc/rc on the root volume. |
route add default MyRouterBox |
Specifies the default router. You can set static routes for the storage system by adding route commands to the /etc/rc file. The network address for MyRouterBox must be in /etc/hosts on the root volume. |
routed on |
Starts the routing daemon. |
savecore |
Saves the core file from a system panic, if any, in the /etc/crash directory on the root volume. Core files are created only during the first boot after a system panic. |
