Changing Boot/Network Parameters
Choose the “Boot/Network” tab and the window below appears.
There are three kinds of booting protocols that setparms can set up for

If you choose Static booting, you will have to set several networking
parameters. Some of these are described below.
You will also need to provide an IP address for your workstation, a
hostname, the IP address of the network gateway for your system, the
netmask (255.255.248.0 for example), and a network domain name
