rc.ntx File Format

Purpose

Supplies configuration information for the Network Terminal Accelerator adapter card.

Description

The /etc/rc.ntx file invokes the hty_load command to load the /etc/hty_config file. This file can also specify a route to a gateway, using the ntx_route command. Also, the rc.ntx file enables SNMP.

The /etc/rc.ntx file can be used to perform different configuration tasks. For example, to supply a route to an additional gateway, add the following line immediately after the comment about additional routes, and supply an IP address for the Destination and Gateway parameters:

/usr/bin/ntx_route -drhp$i net Destination 
Gateway

Following is the file as it is shipped with the software package. You can add additional commands to the file, as indicated above.

/usr/bin/hty_load -f /etc/hty_config
echo "Finished executing hty_load"
