=head1 NAME

B<makenetworks> - populates the xCAT networks table, using network information from the local system

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<makenetworks>


=head1 DESCRIPTION

The B<makenetworks> command is run by xCAT automatically, when xCAT is installed on the management node.
It queries the network configuration of the management node and uses that information to populate the
networks table in the xCAT database.  After that, you may want to update the networks table manually to,
for example, disable the public network entry and add networks that service nodes are on that the management
node can't see directly.

You normally do not need to run the B<makenetworks> command yourself.  But if you want to reset the networks
table to its original state, remove all the entries from it (using tabedit), and then run B<makenetworks>
again.


=head1 RETURN VALUE

0 The command completed successfully.

1 An error has occurred.
