iface
iface is a synonym for the interface command.
interface
interface informs Sockets of the hardware or software communications interface(s) to be used at
the network interface level. At least one network interface is required, and two or more are used in
gateway (router) applications.
The class or mode of each interface defines the encapsulation used for packaging the data frame
into the transport frame. Some types of interface support only one class.
When using more than one interface, Sockets assigns the previous given IP address in the .CFG
file to this interface and uses its net mask to add a route to that net through this interface. Using
the same IP address would result in multiple routes to the same network. The default route is set
on the first interface with an IP address with a zero net mask (for example, IP address
19.63.10.11/0).
Each interface statement uses the IP address from the last supplied IP address statement.
Syntax (general)

Parameters
type
type
defines the type of hardware or software interface.
interface supports the following software interfaces.
Interface
Description
Asy
Standard PC asynchronous interface (RS232 port)
Pdr
packet driver interface
name
name
defines the name by which the interface is known on the local host.
name
is a symbolic
name known only to the local host on which it is used.
name
may be arbitrarily assigned. Each interface command on the same host must have a unique
name assigned. This name is used by commands such as route, trace, param, and so on.
