network

This command lets you configure static IP addressing and SVM network settings.

The new settings are applied after the SVM is restarted or the network service is restarted (the manageservices restart network command).

In a VMware vSphere virtual infrastructure, after running this command, you must run the bind_interface command.

Parameters

<InterfaceName> <IP> <NetMask> <Broadcast> [<GateWay>]

where:

<InterfaceName> – name of the network interface, for example, eth0.
<IP> – IP address of the network interface that you want to assign.
<NetMask> – network mask.
<Broadcast> – broadcast address.
<GateWay> – gateway address (optional parameter). It must be set on only one network interface.

Example:

> ssh klconfig@192.0.2.17 network eth0 192.0.2.45 255.255.255.0 192.0.2.255 192.0.2.1

> klconfig@192.0.2.17's password:

KLCONFIG OK

Specific errors

Wrong interface format <interface name>. Network interface name not specified or does not meet the requirements.

Wrong IP address format <address>. The IP address or subnet mask of the network interface are not set or do not meet the requirements.
