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 asterisk (“*”) in nca.if.

---

Note –

The Solaris NCA is disabled in the Trusted Solaris environment.

---

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 x86: 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: 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.
