Command Line Link Layer Configuration Example
The following is an an example to use the network SSID
“my_net” with WEP and shared key enabled, using the
40-bit key 0123456789, in infrastructure mode:
wificonfig -N \
adhoc=0,ssid=my_net,wep_key_0=0123456789,wep_e
nable=1,wep_mandatory=1,authentication=2 ipw0
NOTE: Please note the continuation backslash in red in the
example above, as the entire command would be on one line
Network Layer Configuration
Once the link layer has been configured, the following
command can be used to configure the network layer for
the wireless LAN:
ifconfig ipw0 plumb
ifconfig ipw0 tcp-ip_address up
NOTE: You may also use “ifconfig ipw0 dhcp start” instead
of “ifconfig ipw0
tcp-ip-address
up”, by referencing your
Solaris system administration guide for TCP/IP address con-
figuration. This commmand allows you to get your IP
address and configuration via DHCP.
