5. Network Configuration - FreeBSD

Answer. Note: The term "vif" is depreciated in 8.0.x and above.It has been replaced by "ifgrp." You can add an alias to a vif or ifgrp using the following command: ifconfig vifname alias ip-address dm0: inet 192.168.1.140 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 For IPv4, a network may also be characterized by its subnet mask or netmask, which is the bitmask that when applied by a bitwise AND operation to any IP address in the network, yields the routing prefix. Subnet masks are also expressed in dot-decimal notation like an address. Netmask / 2ⁿ Number of addresses ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ff00 /120 2⁸ 256 The idea is only to use 256 addresses out of a /64 and firewall the rest in order to avoid NDP (Neighbour Discovery Protocol) exhaustion attacks.

Netmask to IPv4 Conversion CIDR is the short for Classless Inter-Domain Routing, an IP addressing scheme that replaces the older system based on classes A, B, and C. A single IP address can be used to designate many unique IP addresses with CIDR.

BIOS is recognising it, however I am unsure on how to recompile the kernal with the information speicfied here: This website explains how the network and broadcast addresses can be calculated via a netmask and a computer's ip address. To simplify that article: network is the lowest possible address in the range of ip addresses left over from the netmask. broadcast is the highest numbered ip address in that range.
