Call Workflow Input

Description

Required

Default Value

connection details

XML document conforming to the ConnectionDetails common object that contains the information required to execute a command.

Yes

n/a

interface name

The interface name for which the address and gateway information will be added.

 

Warning

Note

The interface name must match the name of the interface as specified in Network Connections. If the interface name contains spaces, it must be enclosed in double quotes (“).

Yes

n/a

ip address

The IP address to be added to the subnet mask for that IP address.

Yes

n/a

subnet mask

The netmask (also known as a subnet mask) associated with the network destination.

 

Warning

Note

The subnet mask can be the appropriate subnet mask for an IP network address, 255.255.255.255 for a host route, or 0.0.0.0 for the default route. Because of the relationship between the destination and the subnet mask in defining routes, the destination cannot be more specific than its corresponding subnet mask.

No

255.255.255.255

default gateway

The forwarding or next hop IP address over which the set of addresses defined by the network destination and subnet mask are reachable.

 

Warning

Note

For locally attached subnet routes, the gateway address is the IP address assigned to the interface that is attached to the subnet. For remote routes, available across one or more routers, the gateway address is a directly reachable IP address that is assigned to a neighboring router.

No

There is no default value.

gateway metric

An integer cost metric for the route. This will be used when choosing among multiple routes in the routing table that most closely match the destination address of a packet being forwarded. The route with the lowest metric is chosen. The metric can reflect the number of hops, the speed of the path, path reliability, path throughput, or administrative properties.

 

Valid values: integer between 1 and 9999

No

If a value is not specified for this input, the route with the lowest metric is chosen.

broadcast address

Address that determine the bounds the broadcast domain

No

There is no default value.
