The Solaris case.
It generally uses commands such as:
ifconfig le0:1 inet 1.2.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.128
(the word "inet" is optional).
It also seems to allow:
ifconfig le0:1 inet 1.2.3.4/25
and this achieves (as would be hoped!) the same result.
Alas, I'm not in a position to test CVS right now. But does this email
thread suggest that you want to try:
ifconfig le0:1 inet 1.2.3.4 netmask 25
?
The result of that ("ifconfig -a") is wild! Not the expected:
le0:1 [...] netmask ffffff80 [...]
but rather:
le0:1 [...] netmask 19 [...]
Summary: Soalris seems to accept either separate, dotted-notation "inet"
and "netmask" clauses, or a combined "inet #.#.#.#/n" specification.
Did I understand the question correctly? Feel to ask me "try this command
(or command template) and let us know the result".
