If i type in the following command:
ifconfig en1 X.X.X.X netmask 255.255.0.0
it will not take the subnet mask, it always defualts back to the
255.255.255.0. has anyone else encountered the same type of occurence
before
What is the actual value of X.X.X.X that you are trying to use?
The current (released) version of TCP/IP doesn’t support ‘super-netting’, it
only supports ‘sub-netting’. In other words, if X.X.X.X is a Class C
address, then it only supports subnets that are equal to or smaller than
255.255.255.0.
I understand that this is fixed in the new stack, which is currently in
Beta.
