Part 1
Connecting to the Network
Part 1 provides the information on how to get started after installing
and configuring the TCP/IP Services software.
Part 1 includes the following chapters:
- Chapter 1, Managing TCP/IP Services, describes the management control interfaces that
allow you to configure and manage TCP/IP Services.
- Chapter 2, Configuring Interfaces, describes how to set up network interfaces.
- Chapter 3, Configuring and Managing Serial Lines, explains how to set up serial lines.
- Chapter 4, Configuring and Managing Routing, discusses how to configure and manage network routing.
- Chapter 5, Configuring and Managing failSAFE IP, describes how to set up and manage the failSAFE IP
service.
Chapter 1
Managing TCP/IP Services
This chapter reviews information you need to get started with the
TCP/IP Services software. Topics include:
- Reviewing pertinent databases, logical names, and configuration
guidelines ( Section 1.1).
- Enabling support for DECnet over TCP/IP, and PATHWORKS (Advanced
Server) ( Section 1.2).
- Creating user accounts and proxy identities ( Section 1.3).
- Configuring TCP/IP Services on an OpenVMS cluster ( Section 1.4).
- Starting services with the auxiliary server ( Section 1.5).
1.1 Getting Started
This manual assumes you installed and configured TCP/IP Services software
with the configuration procedure SYS$MANAGER:TCPIP$CONFIG.COM, as
described in the HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Installation and Configuration manual. This menu-driven procedure
configures the software components you select or all of the
TCP/IP Services software components. The "out-of-the-box"
defaults are designed to get your system up and running as an internet
host with minimal effort.
TCPIP$CONFIG creates the database files listed in Table 1-1.

1If the BOOTP service is configured.
1.1.1 Logical Names
Logical names allow you to customize or modify component behavior.
Logical names also point to directories, database files, and log files.
TCPIP$CONFIG defines the following logical names for the databases
listed in Table 1-1:
- TCPIP$BOOTP (if the BOOTP service is configured)
- TCPIP$CONFIGURATION
- TCPIP$EXPORT
- TCPIP$HOST
- TCPIP$NETWORK
- TCPIP$PROXY
- TCPIP$ROUTE
- TCPIP$SERVICE
Service-specific logical names should be defined while the service is
not running. Always stop the service before defining logical names.
Most logical names require SYSTEM privileges in order to affect the
service. You should use the /EXECUTIVE and /SYSTEM qualifiers on the
DEFINE command line.
It is important to always use the standard, documented shutdown
procedures to stop the services and to stop TCP/IP Services; otherwise,
logical names may revert to their default definitions.
Many services reference service-specific configuration files. To
specify different configuration options for the nodes in an OpenVMS
cluster, you can modify service-specific logical name so that the
configuration files are specific to each node. In clusters with a
shared system disk, the default device (SYS$SYSDEVICE) is a
cluster-common directory.
To specify node-specific configuration files, you can define the
service-specific logical to reference a node-specific file. For
example, on each node that requires node-specific customizations:
- Shut down the service:
$ @SYS$STARTUP:TCPIP$service_SHUTDOWN.COM
|
- Enter the DEFINE command for the service-specific logical name:
$ DEFINE/SYS/EXEC logical-name SYS$SPECIFIC:[directory]logical-name
|
- Start the service:
$ @SYS$STARTUP:TCPIP$service_STARTUP
|
See individual component chapters in this manual for information on how
specific components use logical names.
1.1.2 Modifying Your Configuration
After the initial configuration, you may want to reconfigure existing
components or configure new ones, disable and re-enable components, add
hosts, reconfigure routing, and so forth.
When making any configuration modifications, HP recommends
that you run the configuration procedure TCPIP$CONFIG again.
Note
You cannot use TCPIP$CONFIG to set up SLIP or PPP lines. See
Chapter 3 for more information.
|
In some instances, TCPIP$CONFIG only partially configures a component
(for example, when configuring a BIND name server). You may need to run
additional setup programs or enter management commands to complete the
configuration and fine-tune your environment.
Component-specific chapters in this manual describe additional
configuration tasks and explain how to configure and manage specific
components. These tasks may include:
- Manually adding information, such as database records, that the
configuration procedure cannot handle
- Temporarily enabling or disabling a service
- Configuring customized applications
- Tuning performance
- Troubleshooting
1.1.3 Saving Changes
The configuration procedure TCPIP$CONFIG saves configuration and
initialization information in the file TCPIP$CONFIGURATION.DAT. You can
modify the configuration dynamically or permanently, as follows:
-
SET commands modify the software dynamically, as it is running. Changes
made in this manner are not saved permanently and are overwritten if
they differ from settings in the permanent configuration database.
-
SET CONFIGURATION commands modify the permanent database but do not
take effect until the next time the product starts up.
To make changes take effect immediately and modify permanent settings,
enter both the interactive SET and permanent SET CONFIGURATION commands.
The following commands permanently modify the configuration database:
- SET CONFIGURATION [NO]BIND
- SET CONFIGURATION COMMUNICATION
- SET CONFIGURATION ENABLE [NO]SERVICE
- SET CONFIGURATION [NO]INTERFACE
- SET CONFIGURATION [NO]NAME_SERVICE
- SET CONFIGURATION NOMAP
- SET CONFIGURATION PROTOCOL
- SET CONFIGURATION SMTP
- SET CONFIGURATION SNMP
- SET CONFIGURATION START ROUTING
Note
Throughout this manual, all commands are assumed to be TCP/IP
management commands. Any DCL commands that are mentioned are identified
as such.
For a full description of the TCP/IP management commands and a
discussion of how to use them, see the HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Management Command Reference manual.
