IPADDRESS

Command

IPADDRESS -- Display / Set global or port IPADDRESS.

Synopsis

IPA[ddress] <port | 0> [value]

Availability

This command is sysop-only.

Description

The IPADDRESS command allows the global and port-specific IP addresses to be displayed or changed.

The global and port IP addresses are specified in XROUTER.CFG, but may be changed on the fly using this command.

The global IP address is inherited by all ports, and is usually an amprnet (44-net) one. The port-specific addresses are additional to the global one, and are used only on the port on which they are specified.

The minimum abbreviation for this command is "IPA".

Options

If a single numeric argument is supplied, and it is a valid port number, the current IPADDRESS for that port number is displayed.

If two numeric arguments are supplied, the first specifies a port number and the second specifies a new IPADDRESS for that port only.

If the first argument is zero, the command displays and sets the global IPADDRESS. This address is inherited by all ports, in addition to any port-specific address.

Examples

IPA 0                 - Display global IPADDRESS
IPA 0 44.131.91.2     - Set global IPADDRESS to 44.131.91.2
IPA 3 192.168.0.11    - Set port 3 IPADDRESS to 192.168.0.11
