The subnet mask in AIX can be found using the ‘ifconfig’ command. This command will display the network configuration for all active network interfaces. The subnet mask will be listed next to the ‘netmask’ field. For example, the following output shows that the subnet mask for the ‘en0’ interface is 255.255.255.0: # ifconfig en0 |…
A subnet mask is a 32-bit number that is used to divide an IP address into two parts: the network address and the host address. The network address identifies the network to which the host is connected, while the host address identifies the specific host on that network. The subnet mask is used to determine…
