- *-M NETMASK, --netmask NETMASK*

  Network Mask, either in CIDR (/16) or address mask notation (255.255.0.0, ffff::)

- *-t TYPE, --type TYPE*

  SELinux type for the object

- *-r RANGE, --range RANGE*

  MLS/MCS Security Range (MLS/MCS Systems only) SELinux Range for SELinux login mapping defaults to the SELinux user record range. SELinux Range for SELinux user defaults to s0.

- *-p PROTO, --proto PROTO*

  Protocol for the specified port (tcp\|udp) or internet protocol version for the specified node (ipv4\|ipv6).

```
Apply type node_t to ipv4 node 127.0.0.2
