216                 # Note: the assumption is that the environment for the SUT is the same as the environment 
217                 # for the server being used - both have the same server directory setting.
218                 net = "%s:%s/export" % (self.getTestServer(), self.environment.getServerDirectory(), self.environment.getServerExport())
219                 print "Adding net %s to %s" % (net, self.kdumpConfigPath)
220                 configFile.addParameter("net", net)
