ArpDelay 

The number of seconds to sleep between configuring an interface and sending out a broadcast to inform routers about this IP address.

IfconfigTwice 

Causes an IP address to be configured twice using an ifconfig up-down-up sequence. Increases the probability of gratuitous ARP requests (generated by ifconfig up) to reach clients. 

Type and dimension: integer-scalar 

Default: 0

NetMask

Symantec recommends that you specify a netmask for each virtual interface. 

Type and dimension: string-scalar 

Default: + 

If you do not specify the netmask in the ifconfig command, the agent uses a default netmask based on the contents of the /etc/netmasks for a given address range. 

Example: 255.255.255.000 

Options
