NAME

6       nca.if - the NCA configuration file that specifies physical interfaces
7

SYNOPSIS

9       /etc/nca/nca.if
10
11

DESCRIPTION

13       Specify the physical interfaces for which the Solaris Network Cache and
14       Accelerator ("NCA") feature will be configured in the nca.if configura‐
15       tion  file.  List the physical interfaces in the file, one per line. To
16       configure NCA to listen on all physical interfaces present on the  sys‐
17       tem  backed  by  a hostname.{interface_name}, then list only an asterik
18       ("*") in nca.if.
19
20
21       When the ncakmod(1) initialization  script  is  invoked  during  system
22       boot, it will attempt to configure each physical interface specified in
23       the nca.if file by using ncaconfd(1M).  Note  that  there  must  be  an
24       accompanying  hostname.{interface_name} file and an entry in /etc/hosts
25       for the contents of hostname.{interface_name}.
26
27
28       You must reboot in order to implement changes to the nca.if file.

FILES

70       /etc/nca/nca.if          Lists the physical  interfaces  on  which  NCA
71                                will run.
72
73
74       /etc/hostname.{}{0-9}    Lists  all  physical  interfaces configured on
75                                the server.
76
77
78       /etc/hosts               Lists  all  host  names  associated  with  the
79                                server.  Entries  in this file must match with
80                                entries in /etc/hostname.{}{0-9}  for  NCA  to
81                                function.
