Availability: This command is available to cluster administrators at the admin privilege level.

Description

Create a new subnet.

Parameters

[-ipspace <IPspace>] - IPspace Name

The IPspace to which the new subnet belongs.

-subnet-name <subnet name> - Subnet Name

The name of the subnet to be created. The name of the subnet needs to be unique within the IPspace.

-broadcast-domain <broadcast domain name> - Broadcast Domain

The broadcast domain to which the new subnet belongs.

-subnet <IP Address/Mask> - Layer 3 Subnet

The address and mask of the subnet.

[-gateway <IP Address>] - Gateway

The gateway of the subnet.

[-ip-ranges {<ipaddr>|<ipaddr>-<ipaddr>}] - IP Addresses or IP Address Ranges

The IP ranges associated with this subnet.

[-force-update-lif-associations <true>] - Change the subnet association

This command will fail if any service processor interfaces or network interfaces are using the IP addresses in the ranges provided. Using this parameter will associate any manually addressed interfaces with the subnet and will allow the command to succeed.
