LAN Configuration — subnet_athena.conf

What is it?

Essentially, this is just a rearrangement of those four network settings used to be found in lan_support.conf into a single line. The comment on additional configuration line is too vague to be useful.

The default file:

// Subnet support file
// Format is:
// subnet: subnet/mask:char_ip:map_ip
// you can add more than one that line

subnet: 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.0:127.0.0.1:127.0.0.1

Here are some possible situations:

For 192.168.x.y:
The theoretical subnetmask is 255.255.0.0
Suggested configuration is for a 24-bit subnet
192.168.x.0/255.255.255.0:192.168.x.y:192.168.x.y

For 10.x.y.z:
The theoretical subnetmask is 255.0.0.0
Suggested configuration is for a 24-bit subnet
10.x.y.0/255.255.255.0:10.x.y.z:10.x.y.z

For public IPs:
For multiple IPs, change subnet to a.b.c.d1 (d1 is the lowest member of the IP range) and subnetmask to 255.255.255.0
a.b.c.d/255.255.255.255:a.b.c.d:a.b.c.d

Changes, changes

From SVN-64xx, the first entry (subnet) has been deprecated. The default file is as shown below:

subnet: 255.255.255.0:127.0.0.1:127.0.0.1

Here are some possible situations using the "subnet-less" configuration file:

For 192.168.x.y:
The theoretical subnetmask is 255.255.0.0
Suggested configuration is for a 24-bit subnet
255.255.255.0:192.168.x.y:192.168.x.y

For 10.x.y.z:
The theoretical subnetmask is 255.0.0.0
Suggested configuration is for a 24-bit subnet
255.255.255.0:10.x.y.z:10.x.y.z

For public IPs:
For multiple IPs, change subnetmask to 255.255.255.0 or as determined by your ISP
255.255.255.255:a.b.c.d:a.b.c.d
