DESCRIPTION

     The networksetup command is used to configure network settings typically
     configured in the System Preferences application.  The networksetup com-
     mand requires at least "admin" privileges to run.

     A list of flags and their descriptions:

     -listnetworkserviceorder
             Displays a list of network services in the order they are con-
             tacted for a connection, along with the corresponding port and
             device for each. An asterisk (*) next to a service means the ser-
             vice is inactive.

     -listallnetworkservices
             Displays a list of all the network services on the server's hard-
             ware ports. An asterisk (*) denotes that a network service is
             disabled.

     -listallhardwareports
             Displays list of hardware ports with corresponding device name
             and ethernet address.

     -detectnewhardware
             Detects new network hardware and creates a default network ser-
             vice on the hardware.

     -getmacaddress hardwareport
             Displays ethernet (or AirPort) address for hardwareport or device
             specified.

     -getcomputername
             Displays the computer name.

             and AppleTalk.

     -getinfo networkservice
             Displays the IP address, subnet mask, router, and hardware
             address for the <networkservice> that you specify.

     -setmanual networkservice ip subnet router
             Set the TCP/IP configuration for <networkservice> to manual with
             IP address set to <ip>, Subnet Mask set to <subnet>, and Router
             address set to <router>.

             fied <networkservice> to use DHCP. The client ID is optional.
             Specify "Empty" for [clientid] to clear the DHCP client id.

             vice>.

     -setv6off networkservice
             Use this command to turn IPv6 off on the specified <networkser-
             vice>.

             for <networkservice>.

     -setv6manual ip prefixlength router
             Use this command to set IPv6 to get its addresses manually for
             <networkservice>. Specify the ip address, the prefix length and
             the router.

             You can list any number of servers (replace dns1, dns2, and so on
             with the IP addresses of domain name servers). If you want to

             domain). If you want to clear all search domain entries for the
             specified network service, type OemptyO in place of the domain
             name.
