Overview

Note: The NST script name was changed from "nstipconf" to "nstnetcfg" post the NST 18 release. NST Pro users please perform a "yum update;" to get the latest version of the nstnetcfg script. For non-NST Pro users please use the script name: "nstipconf" as it has most of the features included in the nstnetcfg script.

The nstnetcfg script is a command line software utility used in an NST distribution to assist the System Administrator with the configuration of each physical network interface adapter and access to the NST WUI using HTTPS. When an NST system is configured with two or more network interfaces, it may be easier to manage the network configuration for each interface device using the "network" service rather than under the control of the "NetworkManager" service.

When using a Wireless NST system (e.g., A Wireless Notebook), it is best (i.e. easier and simplified) to allow the "NetworkManager" service to control and setup the Wireless adapter and use the "network" service to setup the stealth network interfaces.
