This CLI command allows the user to query for system network configuration
information. It displays the hostname, netmask, gateway, domain name, DNS
domain name, DNS IP, and Bond IP.

• Deleting Custom Network Configurations
• Undoing a Custom Network Configuration
• Displaying Custom Network Configurations
• Backing Up the Current Custom Network Configuration
• Restoring a Custom Network Configuration

• Not appropriate for sites that rely on host-based security because it does
not provide firewalling.
• Does not validate settings; it is recommended that you use a text editor to
prepare commands rather than typing them live.
• You should manually back up the current configuration before changing it.
• Old network CLI's will not work while a custom configuration is in effect.
• If you are assigning an IP address to any Ethernet port or bond using custom
network configuration, you must configure the gateway field in the CLI

can be the subnet's gateway IP address or any unused IP address within the

Note: Network configuration changes made with netcfg CLI commands are
not applied until you reboot the DXi
Configurations). The gateway address
