Multinic — Configure a Multi-NIC Computer

Although the Remote Tools Agent will automatically listen on the first available TCP/IP address on the client, in configurations where the client has multiple Network Interface Cards (NICs) across different subnets, it might be necessary to explicitly specify a certain subnet for the agent to listen. Multinic is used to set the Subnet and Subnet Mask on which the Remote Tools Agent should listen for remote commands on a client containing more than one NIC.

Use of the Multinic utility includes passing either one or two command-line parameters for Subnet and (optionally) Subnet Mask.

The command-line parameters are case-sensitive. They are:

MULTINIC S=<IP Subnet Number> [M=<IP Subnet Mask>]

• S = Subnet or listening Wuser32 agent.
• M = Subnet Mask (for example, 255.255.255.0). If this value is not specified, 255.255.255.0 is assumed.

Example Multinic command lines:

MULTINIC S=192.168.121.0 M=255.255.255.0MULTINIC S=192.168.121.0

Multinic does not include help options.
