Netmask Table

The netmask table is used to define netmasks for Supernetting (Classless InterDomain Routing). See Appendix B for an explanation of this technique.

Alternatively, the netmasks table could be used to force the NETServer to advertise routes to individual hosts on that network rather than a single route to the entire network. To do this, assign the desired network a netmask of 255.255.255.255.

How to...

Add a netmask

To add a netmask you need to enter both the IP network address and the netmask using the following command:

add netmask <IP network> <netmask>

For example:

add netmask 192.77.203.0 255.255.255.255

Delete a netmask

Use the following command to delete netmasks:

delete netmask <IP network>

Save Changes

Use the following command to save changes to the netmask table:

save table netmask

View the netmask table

Use the following command to view the netmask table:

show table netmask
