Address 

A virtual IP address that is associated with the interface, and which is different from the base IP address. Note that when the NetMask attribute is configured, the IP address that you specify must not be the same as the configured physical IP address, the IP address should be on the same network however. 

Type and dimension: string-scalar 

Example: 192.203.47.61 

Example: "192.203.47.61" 

Device 

The name of the NIC device that is associated with the IP address. Requires the device name without an alias. 

Type and dimension: string-scalar 

Example: eth0 

In above example, eth0 is specified to assign the IP address to the next available alias of eth0. Use the ifconfig -a command to display a list of NICs that are up and the IP addresses assigned to each NIC. 

NetMask 

Symantec recommends that you set this value manually. The default value for this attribute can cause delays in establishing inter-node connections. 

The subnet mask that is associated with the IP address. Specify the value of NetMask in decimal (base 10). 

If Netmask is not specified, the agent uses the operating system's default netmask.

Example: 255.255.255.0 

Example: "255.255.255.0"
