 NCA.IF 4 "Feb 18, 2003"
 NAME
nca.if - the NCA configuration file that specifies physical interfaces
 SYNOPSIS

/etc/nca/nca.if


 DESCRIPTION

Specify the physical interfaces for which the Solaris Network Cache and
Accelerator ("NCA") feature will be configured in the nca.if
configuration file. List the physical interfaces in the file, one per line. To
configure NCA to listen on all physical interfaces present on the system
backed by a hostname.{interface_name}, then list only an asterik
("*") in nca.if.

When the ncakmod(1) initialization script is invoked during system boot,
it will attempt to configure each physical interface specified in the
nca.if file by using ncaconfd(1M). Note that there must be an
accompanying hostname.{interface_name} file and an entry in
/etc/hosts for the contents of hostname.{interface_name}.

You must reboot in order to implement changes to the nca.if file.
 EXAMPLES
 "x86"

Example 1 nca.if on x86

The following is an example of an nca.if file that would be used on an
x86 system:

iprb1
iprb6
iprb8


 "SPARC"

Example 2 nca.if on SPARC

The following is an example of an nca.if file that would be used on a
SPARC system:

hme2
hme3
hme4


 "All Platforms"

Example 3 Configuring NCA to Listen on All Physical Interfaces

The following example shows the contents of an nca.if file that would be
used to configure either platform to listen on all physical interfaces present
on the system:

*


 FILES
/etc/nca/nca.if

Lists the physical interfaces on which NCA will run.


/etc/hostname.{}{0-9}

Lists all physical interfaces configured on the server.


/etc/hosts

Lists all host names associated with the server. Entries in this file must
match with entries in /etc/hostname.{}{0-9} for NCA to function.
