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
