Appendix
❖ Changing the Interface
You can specify either Ethernet interface or IEEE 802.11b interface when us-
ing the IEEE 802.11b interface unit.
msh> ifconfig interface up
The following is a sample configuration, using an IP address of 192.168.15.16 on
an Ethernet interface:
msh> ifconfig ether 192.168.15.16
The following is a sample configuration, using a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 on
an Ethernet interface:
msh> ifconfig ether netmask 255.255.255.0
Note
❒ This affects the configuration of the network interface module on the IP ad-
dress used.
❒ The TCP/IP setting is the same as that of the Ethernet interface and IEEE
802.11b interface.
❒ To enter an address using hexadecimal, prefix it with "0x".
-Address
❖ Subnet Mask
A number used to numerically "mask" or hide the IP address on the network
by eliminating those parts of the address that are alike for all machines 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 do not know the address to configure, use the machine's default.
❒ The Ethernet interface and IEEE 802.11b interface share the same TCP/IP ad-
dress. When changing interfaces, the former interface setting is applied to the
new interface.
