The net show command

This command displays all network configuration for the Integration Appliance. This command can also display specific configuration information for the network interfaces, DNS server, host name, default gateway, routing tables, and socket connections. If you enable the net set autohost command, use the net show autohost to view the current settings of the autohost.

You can issue a collection of network settings changes in memory with the net show command. The Integration Appliance does not persist these changes. The net show command only becomes permanent after you issue a net restart command.
  • Active - Displays the network settings for the Integration Appliance that is currently running.
  • Memory - Displays the network settings of a staging Integration Appliance that becomes active when you issue the net restart command.
  • Backup - Specifies the Integration Appliance that was active before you issued the previous net restart command.
The network interfaces of the Integration Appliance use these names:
  • edata - for the interface that handles all integration data
  • emgmt - for the interface that handles management traffic, including both the CLI and the Web Management Console
Table 1. . The following table provides descriptions for options available in the various command syntaxes:
Options Description
all Displays all network configuration information for the Integration Appliance.
active Displays complete network configurations.
autohost Allows the Integration Appliance to find its IP address from its own hostname. When you enabled this option and the Integration Appliance cannot find an IP address corresponding to its hostname, either through DNS or an entry you entered manually into the /etc/hosts directory, the Integration Appliance automatically adds an entry into the /etc/hosts directory to allow the runtime to operate normally. Enable or disable this option through the net set autohost command.
backup Displays complete network configurations.
carrier Specifies the time, in seconds, until a missing ethernet link carrier is reported as an error. Setting the value to zero disables the carrier checking and no errors are reported.
domain Displays the domain name for this Integration Appliance. The effect is that most queries for names within this domain can use short names relative to the local domain.
etchost Displays the entries within /etc/hosts.
gateway Specifies the gateway and the interface to use for that gateway. The Integration Appliance supports only one default gateway for both management and data traffic (as opposed to one gateway per interface), but additional routes can be added separately.
hostname Displays the name of the Integration Appliance. This should be the short hostname, without the domain name.
interface Displays the IP address, Netmask and Broadcast address for the specified interface.
link Sets the ethernet link to autonegotiate (the default) or to specific values. In most cases autonegotiate is preferable, but setting specific values can sometimes help improve throughput when network conditions are not optimal.
memory Displays complete network configurations.
mtu Displays Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) size for data in an IP packet.
nameserver Displays the DNS server list (maximum 2).
node Displays the IP address for the node.
ntp Displays the network protocol for clock synchronization between an appliance and network.
route Displays active routes.
search Specifies the search list. If you do not set this option, the search list is the same as the value of the domain setting.
sockets Displays a list of socket addresses.
status Displays the network status of the Integration Appliance, including the last attempt to start networking, the last time networking started, the last time networking stopped, the reason for last networking stop and the current networking activity.
