IPv6 configuration
msh> ifconfig "interface_name" inet6 "address" "prefixlen[1-128]"
The following explains how to configure an IPv6 address to 2001:DB8::100 with prefix length 64
on the Ethernet interface.
msh> ifconfig ether inet6 2001:DB8::100 64
Netmask configuration
msh> ifconfig "interface_name" netmask "address"
The following explains how to configure a subnet mask 255.255.255.0 on the Ethernet interface.
msh> ifconfig ether netmask 255.255.255.0
Broadcast address configuration
msh> ifconfig "interface_name" broadcast "address"
Changing the interface
msh> ifconfig "interface" up
• When using the optional IEEE 802.11 interface unit, you can specify either Ethernet or IEEE
802.11 interface.
• To get the above addresses, contact your network administrator.
•
Use the default configuration if you cannot obtain setting addresses.
• The IP address, subnet mask and broadcast address are the same as that for the Ethernet interface
and IEEE 802.11 interface.
• TCP/IP configuration is the same for both the Ethernet and IEEE 802.11 interface. If interfaces are
changed, the new interface inherits the configuration.
• Use "0x" as the initial two letters of a hexadecimal address.
