This section describes function for network configuration. Functions that contain ‘Net’ in the name operate on general network parameters and are specific for a node; functions with ‘Nic’ in the name are specific for a NIC on a node.
A node can be configured with one or more NICs; it can also have any number of IPv4 and/or IPv6 routes. A NIC can have any number of IPv4 and/or IPv6 addresses.
Where an element is numbered (such as with routes), the index is zero based: the first element has index zero.

Advanced sections contain node parameters that do not need to change very often. A number of advanced sections is created at installation time, but advanced sections and parameters in them can be added, modified and deleted at any time.
A section is identified by a name. It can contain zero or more parameters.
A parameter in a section is also identified by a name. It contains a number of properties; the LNCA_VALUE property is always present, the others are optional.

| Enumerate advanced sections for a node. | lncAdvEnumSections |
| Get a property of a parameter in an advanced section. | lncAdvGetProp |
| Get the details of a parameter property in an advanced section. | lncAdvGetPropInfo |
| Set a parameter property in an advanced section. | lncAdvSetProp |
Load parameters describe INtime applications that are automatically loaded when the INtime kernel starts on a local node. The list consists of applications (similar to sections), each having a set of parameters. The order of applications in the list is not relevant; if any particular order of starting is required, it must be defined via the dependency parameters. An application is identified by its name.
System applications cannot be deleted; the only parameter that can be changed for a system application is LNCL_ENABLE.

These functions are provided for backward compatibility, but should be avoided in new developments. They only cover system and kernel parameters.
