Command Reference
V!CAS
By default, the SNMP shell has a lower priority than routing proc-
esses which means that an interactive configuration session (setup)
does not affect performance on systems with many WAN partners.

The ifconfig command can be used to assign an address to a net-
work interface and/or to configure network interface parameters
and change the respective routing table entries.
When only the required interface parameter is used, ifconfig dis-
plays the current settings for the interface.
Options and their respective ipRouteTable entries are as follows:
‹interface›
Interface name (ifDescr)
destination
‹destaddr›
Destination IP address of a host for adding host routes.
(ipRouteDest, ipRouteMask)
‹address› V!CAS’ IP address for this interface
(ipRouteNextHop).
netmask
‹mask›
Netmask of interface (ipRouteMask).
[

Set the interface to one of these states.
–
Don’t define own IP address
(i.e. ipRouteNextHop = 0.0.0.0).
metric
‹n›
Sets route metric to n (ipRouteMetric1).
halt
halt
The halt command halts the system and reboots using the default
boot configuration file. The halt command has the same effect as
powering the system off/on.
