Appendix
❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ Changing the Interface
You can specify either the Ethernet interface or IEEE 802.11b interface when
using the optional 802.11b Interface Kit.
msh> ifconfig interface up
Note
❒ You cannot specify the optional IEEE 1394 Interface Unit (ip1394 or fwip0).
The following is an example for configuring an IP address of 192.168.15.16 on
Ethernet interface.
msh> ifconfig ether 192.168.15.16
The following is an example for configuring a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 on
Ethernet interface.
msh> ifconfig ether netmask 255.255.255.0
Note
❒ This affects the configuration of the Network Interface Board of the IP ad-
dress used.
❒ The TCP/IP setting is the same as that for the Ethernet interface and IEEE
802.11b interface.
❒ To type an address using hexadecimal, prefix it by "0x".
❒ When using IEEE 802.11b, see p.112 "Setting IEEE 802.11b" for settings.

❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ Subnet Mask
A number used to mathematically "mask" or hide the IP address on the net-
work by eliminating those parts of the address that are alike for all the ma-
chines on the network.
❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ Broadcast address
A specified address for sending data to specific devices on the network.
Note
❒ To get the above addresses, contact your network administrator.
❒ If you don't know the address to configure, use the machine's default settings.
❒ The subnet mask is the same as that for the Ethernet interface and IEEE
802.11b interface. When changing interface, the settings of the former are
used.
❒ When installing the optional 1394 Interface Unit, set the subnet so that it does
not overlap with the Ethernet interface or the 1394 interface.
