Network Utilities Implementation Considerations
You can include Network Utilities in your OS design by choosing the Catalog item from the Catalog. Choosing this feature sets the appropriate Sysgen variable for enabling the feature.
The following table shows the Sysgen variable that enables the Network Utilities listed.
| Sysgen variable | Functionality |
|---|---|
SYSGEN_NETUTILS |
When this variable is set, Network Utilities are included in the run-time image. For more information, see Network Utilities. |
