Certain options can be conÞgured for each of the protocols supported by the
MSS. For more information on protocol conÞguration, refer to MSS Reference
Manual on the CD-ROM.
4.3.1 TCP/IP Parameters
¥ Subnet Mask: This mask allows the server to decide at connection
time whether a given TCP/IP host is part of the local network
segment so that packets can be routed properly. A default subnet
mask is created automatically when the MSSÕs IP address is
conÞgured, but it can be overridden.
Ex: CHANGE SUBNET MASK 255.255.255.0
¥ Name Resolution: Hosts on TCP/IP networks generally have a text
hostname and a numeric IP address. The MSS can resolve text host
names into the numeric equivalents needed for most connections,
provided that a DNS (domain name server) has been conÞgured.
Ex: CHANGE NAMESERVER 192.0.1.167
Local>> CHANGE PRIVPASS “walrus”
Local>> CHANGE LOGINPASS “badger”
