Operator's guide

net.eth.0.broadcast : The broadcast IP address used by the interface. This can often be derived from the IP address by replacing numbers at the end with 255.

net.eth.0.gateway : The IP address of the gateway machine (router) on your network.

net.eth.0.netmask : The network mask to use for the IP interface. A DCM with an IP address in the domain 192.168.1.x would normally use a netmask of 255.255.255.0.

net.eth.0.netaddress : The network address of the DCM. A DCM with an IP address in the domain 192.168.1.x would normally use a network address of 192.168.1.0.

Static routes

In addition to the standard IP routing mechanisms, you can define up to 4 additional static routes from the DCM to other parts of the network. These routes are specified as arguments to the standard Unix route command. For example, if you wanted the DCM to route traffic to and from IP addresses beginning 192.168.0. over the eth0 interface, you would include the line

add -net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0

in the list.

For more information on the route command, please see its Linux manual page.
