netsc_ipaddr

Use this variable to specify the ALOM IP (Internet Protocol) address.

From the ALOM command shell:

• To specify a value for this variable, use the setupsc command.
• To view the current value, use the showsc command.
• To change the value, use the setsc command.

Using the scadm utility:

• To view the current value for this variable, use the show command.
• To change the value, use the set command.

The default IP address supplied by this variable is 0.0.0.0.

Note: If you are using DHCP to obtain your ALOM network configuration, you do not need to set this variable. If netsc_dhcp is set to true, then the setupsc script does not ask you to set netsc_ipaddr.

A typical IP address contains four sets of numbers between 0 and 255, separated by decimal points. This is referred to as standard dot notation.

If the IP address you specify does not work with the subnet mask and gateway addresses you specify, ALOM returns the following error message, substituting the values for netsc_ipgateway and netsc_ipnetmask:

Error: Invalid IP address for gateway address <netsc_ipgateway> and IP netmask <netsc_ipnetmask>.

Check that all the values you entered are correct. If you need help obtaining the correct IP address, ask your network administrator.

Note: netsc_ipaddr does not update results from an scadm shownetwork command until the ALOM is reset via scadm resetrsc.
