Step 1: set up network selection
Network selection consists of the following elements:
-
netconfig,
a network configuration file (see
netconfig(4bnu))
-
NETPATH,
an environment variable
To set up network selection,
you need to create an entry in the
netconfig
file for each network available to the local system.
Any user, including the administrator, may use the
NETPATH
variable to modify the default order
in which networks are tried by an
application seeking a network connection.
If a user does not set the
NETPATH
variable, networks are used in the order specified in
netconfig.
For more information see
``Administering network selection''.
