NET.CFG Options Reference

Protocol TCPIP Option

Parameters and Values

IP_ADDRESS ip_address [network_name]

IP_NETMASK net_mask_address [network_name]

IP_ROUTER ip_address [network_name]

IP_ADDRESS ip_address [network_name]

Specifies the IP address for your client workstation.

Syntax

ip_address ip_address [network_name]

 

Replace ip_address with the correct address in

 

dotted notation. If this parameter is missing or is

 

0.0.0.0, the protocol stack uses BOOTP or Reverse

 

ARP to determine the IP address.

 

Replace network_name with a descriptive name

 

for this network connection. The network name is

 

used with the BIND, IP_ROUTER, and

 

IP_NETMASK parameters to distinguish

 

between the values for each network connection.

 

The network name is required only if you are

 

configuring multiple ODI LAN drivers for TCP/

 

IP.

 

 

Default

None

 

 

Example

To set the IP address for your client workstation and

 

distinguish your connection to the network, you could

 

place the following lines in your NET.CFG file:

 

protocol tcpip

 

bind ne2000 2 finance-net

 

ip_address 129.47.30.6 finance-net

 

ip_router 144.52.6.6

 

ip_netmask 255.255.0.0
