Setting the Subnet Mask

NOTE

After the ESXMIM resets, the Password Screen appears and you must re-enter Local Management.

4.5SETTING THE SUBNET MASK

Subnets are logical divisions of the network. To change the subnet mask from its default value, perform the following steps:

1.Use the arrow keys to highlight the Subnet Mask field.

2.Enter the subnet mask using DDN format. Values for each decimal must range from 0-255.

For example: 255.255.0.0

3.Press ENTER. If the subnet mask entered was a valid format, the cursor returns to the beginning of the Subnet Mask field. If the entry was not valid, the Event Message field displays “INVALID SUBNET MASK OR FORMAT ENTERED”. Local Management does not alter the current value and refreshes the Subnet Mask field with the previous value.

4.Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command field.

5.Press ENTER. The Event Message field at the top of the screen displays “SAVED OK”.
