                     25: .I Ipconfig
                     26: activates the DARPA Internet protocol on a communications device,
                     27: with Internet address
                     28: .I localhost
                     29: for the host
                     30: and network address
                     31: .I network
                     32: for the device.
                     33: .PP
                     34: If
                     35: .I arp-device
                     36: is specified,
                     37: the ARP address resolution protocol
                     38: is started on that device.
                     39: Option
                     40: .B -d
                     41: causes
                     42: .I ipconfig
                     43: to print ARP requests on the standard output
                     44: as they are received.
                     45: .PP
                     46: Option
                     47: .B -m
                     48: declares a subnet mask
                     49: for the network reached through
                     50: .IR ip-device .
                     51: .I Mask
                     52: may be a four-piece IP address like
                     53: .L 255.255.255.0
                     54: or a 32-bit hexadecimal number like

                     58: .B -f
                     59: is a special workaround for networks with obsolete hosts.
                     60: It causes
                     61: .I ipconfig
                     62: to answer illegal ARP requests for the subnet's broadcast address
                     63: with an illegal Ethernet address,
                     64: to prevent broadcast storms.

                     66: .I Dkipconfig
                     67: places a network call to
                     68: .I gatemachine
                     69: and activates the IP protocol on the connection,
                     70: so that the remote machine becomes a gateway for the caller's IP traffic.
                     71: .I Localhost
                     72: becomes the calling machine's Internet address
                     73: through this IP interface;
                     74: .I remotehost
                     75: is the Internet address
                     76: to which local IP packets should be sent
                     77: to reach the gateway.
