NET.CFG Options Reference

Protocol TCPIP Option

IP_NETMASK net_mask_address [network_name]

Specifies the default subnetwork mask if subnetworks are used.

Syntax

ip_netmask net_mask_address [network_name]

 

Replace net_mask_address with the correct

 

subnetwork mask 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_ADDRESS, and

 

IP_ROUTER 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 netmask 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 129.47.6.84

 

ip_router 144.52.6.6

 

ip_netmask 255.255.0.0 finance-net
