NETADDRS(4)                                           NETADDRS(4)



NAME
     NETADDRS - TCP/IP network configuration file

DESCRIPTION
     The NETADDRS file resides in /etc and contains parameters
     that configure the Ethernet cards in the local computer for
     TCP/IP networking.  For each card, a single line, containing
     the following fields, is present:

          interface-id  IP-address  broadcast-address [netmask]

     Fields are separated by any number of space and tab
     characters.  Lines must not begin with a space or a tab
     character.  The interface-id field identifies the interface
     to which the remaining fields in the line apply. The value
     of interface-id is ao0 for the built-in Ethernet card, 0
     through 5 for an Apple EtherTalk NB Card in NuBus(TM) slots
     0 through 5, or as0 through as5 for an Apple Ethernet NB
     Card. (The number and availability of NuBus slots depends on
     the type of Macintosh computer.)  The value of IP-address is
     the Internet Protocol address that has been assigned to this
     card. The value of broadcast-address is the broadcast
     address that is used by the network to which the card is
     connected.  The netmask field is optional and is present
     only if the network to which the card is connected is
     divided into subnets.

EXAMPLES
     The following is a sample NETADDRS file for a computer that
     is connected to two networks; only the second network is
     divided into subnets.

          ao0   89.53.0.1      89.255.255.255
          as2   90.190.40.67    90.190.43.255    0xfffffc00
