| s p ip-10 p-ip:1 | Configure the physical ethernet card associated to IP-10 resource. |
| s p ip-10 ipadd:192.168.10.1 mask:255.255.255.0 | Configure the IP address and the mask. |

If you want to assign an IP address belonging to the same network of the IP-1 resource, you must configure in the mask parameter the value 255.255.255.255. For example: s p ip-10 ipadd:192.168.1.10 mask:255.255.255.255 or s p ip-10 ipadd:192.168.1.10/32 |
