	ifconfig <iface> broadcast <address>

Set the broadcast address for the interface.  The <address> takes
the  form  of  an  IP  address  with  1's in the host part of the
address.  This is related to the netmask sub-command.   See  also
the arp command.

	ifconfig <iface> ipaddress <hostid>

the host address.  See also the hostname and ip address commands.

form of an IP address with 1's in the network and subnet parts of
the address, and 0's in the host part of the  address.   This  is
related  to  the  broadcast sub-command.  See also the route com-
mand.
