5.3.2 HP-UX manual reference pages (manpages)
While installing, configuring, or troubleshooting Ethernet, you may need to refer to any of the
following online manual reference pages (manpages) for useful HP-UX operating system or Ethernet
commands. To display a manpage, enter the following at the system prompt: man command name.
For example, man arp.
• arp(1m): The arp command displays and modifies the Internet-to-station address mapping
tables used by the Address Resolution Protocol.
• hosts(4): The hosts manpage describes the /etc/hosts database that contains a single
line entry for each host name entry and the corresponding IP address and aliases. This file
contains all addresses for local interfaces that ifconfig needs at boot time. This file can
serve as a backup when the name server or Network Information Service is not working.
• ifconfig(1m): The ifconfig command assigns an address to a network interface and
configures and displays network parameters.
• ioscan(1m): The ioscan command scans system hardware, usable I/O system devices, or
kernel I/O system data structures as appropriate, and lists the results.
• netfmt(1m): The netfmt command formats common tracing and logging binary files.
• netstat(1): The netstat command provides network statistics and information about network
connections.
