Hello,

I have an easier way.

NMMGR
Open Config (F1)
NS(F2)
Guided Config(F1)
Enter the appropriate NI interface name. If you don't know it, press the
List Networks (F6). Pick the name as before (LAN, LAN1,etc)
Config Network(F1) This will retrieve the current setting.
 Update the 'IP Subnet mask' field on this screen.
Hit F6 Save Data,
then Validate (F5).

Exit NMMGR and stop and restart your network. There may even be a NETCONTROL
or LINKCONTROL option to reset the config without shutting down the network.
