USRobotics NETServer/8 - Manual (Page 23)

Basic Installation 2-7
IP Configuration
1. IP Network Address: You must assign an IP address to the
NETServer’s LAN interface (Ethernet or Token Ring port).
Type the following:
set net0 address <IP address>
Enter
If your network does not use IP, you may choose whatever
address you like. See Appendix B for some basics on TCP/
IP addressing. However, if you want to connect the
NETServer to the Internet (even indirectly), the address
must be unique in the world. To obtain such an address,
contact your local Internet service provider. If you need a
large number of IP addresses, you may want to contact the
InterNIC (see the beginning of this chapter for their ad-
dress).
Example:
set net0 address 192.77.203.200
Enter
2. You must set the LAN port’s subnet mask. The default is
255.255.255.0, which would be appropriate for a Class C
network with no subnetting or for Class C size subnets of
larger networks. You must change this value if the network
attached to the NETServer’s LAN port uses a different
subnet mask. To change the Netmask, type the following:
set net0 netmask <netmask>
Enter
Example:
set net0 netmask 255.255.255.0
Enter
