| mktcpip | Sets the required values for starting TCP/IP on a host. |
| no | Configures network options. |
| rmnamsv | Unconfigures TCP/IP-based name service on a host. |
| rmprtsv | Unconfigures a print service on a client or server machine. |
| slattach | Attaches serial lines as network interfaces. |
| arp | Displays or changes the Internet address to hardware address translation tables used by the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP). |
| gettable | Gets Network Information Center (NIC) format host tables from a host. |
| hostid | Sets or displays the identifier of the current local host. |
| hostname | Sets or displays the name of the current host system. |
| htable | Converts host files to the format used by network library routines. |

| timedn | Invokes the timeserver daemon at system startup time. |
The Summary of Fast Paths in AIX Version 4.3 System Management Guide: Operating System and Devices provides the fast paths for TCP/IP system management tasks.
Device methods are programs associated with a device that perform basic device configuration operations. See "List of TCP/IP Programming References" in AIX Communications Programming Concepts for information about TCP/IP methods.

See "List of TCP/IP Programming References" in AIX Communications Programming Concepts for information about TCP/IP files and file formats.
For a list of the RFCs (Request for Comments) supported by AIX, see the "List of TCP/IP Programming References" in AIX Communications Programming Concepts.
Many RFCs are available online. Paper copies of all RFCs are available from SRI, either individually or on a subscription basis. For more information, contact nisc@nisc.sri.com, or call 1-415-859-6387.
Online copies are available using FTP from ftp.nisc.sri.com as rfc/rfcnnnn.txt or rfc/rfcnnnn.ps (where nnnn is the RFC number without leading zeros). Additionally, RFCs may be requested through electronic mail from SRI's automated mail server by sending a message to mail-server@nisc.sri.com. In the body of the message, indicate the RFC to be sent, for example, send rfcnnnn (where nnnn is the number of the RFC). For PostScript RFCs, specify the extension, for example, send rfcnnnn.ps. Multiple requests can be sent in a single message by specifying each request on a separate line. The RFC index can be requested by typing send rfc-index.
