Address 

The virtual IP address that is assigned to the active NIC. 

Type and dimension: string-scalar 

Examples: 

• IPv4: "10.128.10.14"
• IPv6: "2001:DB8::"

MultiNICAResName 

Name of the associated MultiNICA resource that determines the active NIC. 

Type and dimension: string-scalar 

Example: "MultiNICA_grp1" 

PrefixLen 

Required to use the IPv6 protocol. 

See PrefixLen 

NetMask 

For the IPv4 protocol, specify the value of NetMask attribute in decimal (base 10). If you do not specify the Netmask attribute, the agent uses the operating system's default netmask. 

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

Configure this attribute only if the IP address is an IPv4 address. 

Type and dimension: string-scalar 

Example: "255.255.255.0" 

PrefixLen 

Specifies the prefix for the IPv6 address represented as the CIDR value. 

When you use the IPv6 protocol, you must configure values for this attribute and the MultiNICA agent's Device and Protocol attributes. 

Type-dimension: integer-scalar 

Range: 0 - 128 

Default: 1000 

Note   The default value is intentionally invalid for this attribute. You must set the value of this attribute to a range from 0 to 128 to activate this attribute.

Example: 64 

Options 

The ifconfig command options for the virtual IP address. 

Type and dimension: string-scalar 

Example: "mtu m" 

IPOptions 

Specifies the extra options that are passed to the ip addr add command. The ip addr add command resembles the following: 

• IPv4

  "ip -4 addr add ipv4addr/prefixlen IPOptions device dev"

• IPv6

  "ip -6 addr add ipv6addr/prefixlen IPOptions device dev"

Type and dimension: string-scalar 

Example: 

• "broadcast 172.20.9.255"
• "scope link"
