4.5 SETTING THE SUBNET MASK
Subnets are logical divisions of the network. To change the subnet mask
from its default value, perform the following steps:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Subnet Mask field.
2. Enter the subnet mask using DDN format. Values for each decimal
must range from 0-255.
For example: 255.255.0.0
3. Press ENTER. If the subnet mask entered was a valid format, the
cursor returns to the beginning of the Subnet Mask field. If the entry
was not valid, the Event Message field displays “INVALID SUBNET
MASK OR FORMAT ENTERED”. Local Management does not alter
the current value and refreshes the Subnet Mask field with the
previous value.
4. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command field.
5. Press ENTER. The Event Message field at the top of the screen
displays “SAVED OK”.
NOTE
After the ESXMIM resets, the Password Screen appears and
you must re-enter Local Management.
