Overview
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. simplified and easier) to allow the "NetworkManager" service to control and setup the Wireless adapter configuration and let the "network" service setup 'stealth' interfaces for network surveillance usage. The nstnetcfg utility was designed to allow the management of network interface adapters on an NST system using different combinations of the "NetworkManager" and the "network" service.
See the example NST system configurations in the section below to better explain the use of the "nstnetcfg" tool and a senario they may best fit your NST network configuration.
