Indicates the preferred NIC where you want to bring the logical IP address online. Specify the device name or NIC alias as determined in the Device attribute of the MultiNICB resource. 

Type and dimension: string-scalar 

Default: 0 

Examples: 

DeviceChoice = lan0 

DeviceChoice = 1 

DeviceChoice = "lan0" 

DeviceChoice = "1" 

 

NetMask 

Netmask for the base IP address. You can specify the value of NetMask in decimal (base 10) or hexadecimal (base 16). 

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

Type and dimension: string-scalar 

 

RouteOptions 

Specifies the routing options that are passed to the route add command when the agent configures an interface. The RouteOptions attribute value is generally formed like this: "destination gateway metric"

For details about the route command, refer to the man page for your operating system. 

When the value of this string is null, the agent does not add routes. 

Type and dimension: string-scalar 

Example: "192.100.201.0 192.100.13.7" 

In this example, the agent executes the "route add 192.100.201.0 192.100.13.7" command when it configures an interface.
