shows how the command appears when a new value has been entered:
inet on ethernet (e) : 172.29.52.88 172.29.52.8:ffffff00

text would appear after the colon. In this example, 172.29.52.8 is the new boot IP address, and ffffff00
is the new network mask.
Set the gateway inet option to the IP address for the default gateway on the subnet that hosts the switch.
