The following explains how to configure an IPv4 address 192.168.15.16 on Ethernet interface.

msh> ifconfig ether 192.168.15.16

IPv6 configuration

msh> ifconfig ether inet6 "interface_name" "prefixlen"

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 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

You can specify either the Ethernet interface or wireless LAN interface when using the optional wireless LAN interface unit is installed.

To get the above addresses, contact your 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 wireless LAN interface.
TCP/IP configuration is the same for both Ethernet and wireless LAN interface. If interfaces are changed, the new interface inherits the configuration.
Use "0x" as the initial two letters of a hexadecimal address.
