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
