SET/DEFINE/CHANGE Commands
net-address
Specifies a network that is reachable through the gateway. This option defines a
gateway to a network, rather than to a specific host. The net-address must be a
valid network address.
[SUBNET] MASK submask
When used with NETWORK, determines the exact SUBNET that the user can
access through the defined GATEWAY. If the SUBNET MASK option is omitted,
the subnet mask in the access server operational database is the default. Avoid
overlapping subnets (similar subnet mask addresses).
Restrictions
• There can be only 16 gateway entries defined in the permanent database.
• To ensure clearly defined gateways, avoid overlapping subnets (gateways with
similar subnet addresses).
• While it is possible to use the SET/DEFINE/CHANGE command with various
network addresses for the same gateway (using the same Internet address),
you must use a separate SET/DEFINE/CHANGE INTERNET GATEWAY
command to assign the same inet-address to each network.
Example: SET/DEFINE/CHANGE INTERNET GATEWAY
Local> CHANGE INTERNET GATEWAY 195.1.1.60 NETWORK 127.10.1.0
This command enters an Internet gateway with an Internet address of 195.1.1.60
and a network address of 127.10.1.0 in the access server operational and
permanent databases. Because the SUBNET MASK option is omitted, the server
uses the current Internet subnet mask in the server operational database (and no
subnet mask in the server permanent database). In the above example, all
connections to the hosts beginning with address 127.10 will go through the
gateway address 195.1.1.60.
INTERNET HOST
(privileged)
Syntax
Description
This privileged command enters Internet hosts into the access server domain
name system (DNS) database.
