addip, remip, and setip

The addip and remip commands provide an alternative to the set command. The commands enable the administrator to make incremental changes to the IP ranges, rather than replacing the entire list. The setip command is the same as set, but it accepts only the ips= configuration setting.

This command has the following format:

aldo addip|remip|setip grid=name ips= rangespec [ file= cfgfile] [ controller_ip= ] [ controller_name= ]

grid= name

Specifies the name of the grid to reconfigure.

controller_ip= ipaddr or controller_name= host

Specifies the IP address or host name of the controller. One of the two must be specified and referring to the controller external IP address. This value is not required if the grid was installed or reconfigured from the same distribution server on which the command is being run.

ips= rangespec

Specifies a comma-separated list of one or more IP ranges to add, remove, or set. For the syntax of the IP range specification, see Configuration Options.

Remarks

• These commands change only the application IP ranges. To set other grid parameters, use the set command.
• IP ranges cannot overlap but can be adjacent.

  Note: Adjacent ranges are not merged automatically (even if they have the same netmask and gateway).

• When specifying ranges for the remip command, specify only the IP addresses. The netmask and gateway can be omitted. The specified range must match exactly one of the currently configured ranges, it is not possible to remove part of a range.
• To modify a range, remove the old range and add one with a separate command. If only one range is defined, use setip to replace the IP range with another range (or ranges).
