2. To create workgroup B:

FN10 > workgroup B 7,11,16,24 ip 198.113.121.0

LCM responds with the following display:

Name: b

Ports: 7, 11, 16, 24

Info: IP 198.113.121.0 255.255.255.0

In both cases, a specific NETMASK value was omitted and LCM
assumed the standard IP address class mask.

As illustrated in the previous example, virtual workgroups allow you to
associate multiple hosts, define a workgroup, or delete a workgroup. In
reality, you are assigning workgroup IDs to FN10 ports.

Use the LCM command, workgroup, to create, modify, and delete virtual
workgroups. The full syntax of the command is as follows:

workgroup [NAME [{delete | PORT-RANGE [INFO]}]]

The options for INFO include:

ip IP-ADDRESS [NETMASK] - indicates an IP network and if
NETMASK is omitted, the standard IP class mask is assumed.

ipx [IPX-NETWORK] - indicates an IPX network and if
IPX-NETWORK is omitted all IPX numbers will be assumed (this is
referred to as the default workgroup).

all - allows any network protocol and is the default setting for the
workgroup command.

To display all of the workgroups defined by the FN10, at the LCM
prompt:

1. Type

To display information about a specific workgroup, at the LCM prompt:

1. Type

NAME

To create or modify a workgroup, at the LCM prompt:
