Beware of "in case" meaning "if" (many English-speakers use it like
that, but others reserve it for "unconditionally lest"). In fact
there's no need for either.
Should TIPC be configured automatically?
.
To configure the node manually, edit '/etc/default/tipc'. To
change runtime TIPC settings, use the command line tool
'tipc-config'.
Wait, I wrote that assuming tipc-config could *re*configure a node
(that is, change its settings during runtime), but tipc-config(8)
says "There is no way to unconfigure a TIPC node once set up other
than unloading the kernel module." I'm unsure now - if I set up
/etc/default/tipc and let it configure a node, will I "also" be able
to use tipc-config?
