`-ssl_certificate`	<name>	Defines SSL certificate to be used for an IP (required for creation)	To create shared IP address with default SSL certificate: `ipmanage.exe --create 192.168.1.1 -type shared -ssl_certificate "Default Certificate"`
`-mask`	<IP>	Defines subnet mask (required for creation, only for 'create' command)	To define subnet mask: `ipmanage.exe --create 192.168.1.1 -type shared -mask` 123.234.345.456/8
`-interface`	<dev>	Defines network interface name (required for creation, only for 'create' command)	To define network interface name as "Local Area Connection": `ipmanage.exe --create 192.168.1.1 -type shared -interface "\"Local Area Connection"\"`

Note: SSL cerificate name is preferably to be written in double quotes. If the certificate name contains spaces, double quotes are mandatory.
Network interface name should be in double quotes. Further, if the interface name itself contains spaces, you should place it in double quotes and prepend them with backslashes. For example, the default name for network adapter that Windows uses is Local Area Connection. Therefore, when specifying it with the -interface option you should use the following format: -interface "\"Local Area Connection"\"
