Displays the version of the running DIGITAL TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS components and operating system. Also shows the hardware model.

Starts the lower-layer software on the running system using the information in the relevant databases.

Reads the DIGITAL TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS configuration database to configure the system upon startup.

Related command: STOP COMMUNICATION

Note Compaq strongly recommends that, instead of issuing this command, you run the SYS$COMMON:[SYSMGR]TCPIP$INET_STARTUP.COM procedure.

Format

START COMMUNICATION [ /INITIALIZE ]

Qualifiers

/INITIALIZE

Optional. Default: Interactively start.

Upon the next DIGITAL TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS startup:

• Starts the lower-level internet software, based on the information in the configuration database.
• Sets protocol parameters.
• Defines interfaces.
• Enables services.
• Loads communication proxies.
• Enables the BIND resolver.
• If you defined a cluster address, also:
  • Sets the cluster timer to 0.
  • Turns on IP forwarding, eliminating the need for you to issue SET PROTOCOL IP /FORWARD.

restrictions

Requires OPER privileges.

Examples

TCPIP> START COMMUNICATION /INITIALIZE  
      

Upon the next DIGITAL TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS startup, will activate all the software other than the services.

Manually starts the SMTP sender queues (not the receiver [server]).

Before you issue this command, the configuration database must have the SMTP configuration.

Related commands: SHOW MAIL, STOP MAIL, ENABLE SERVICE SMTP, SHOW CONFIGURATION SMTP

Format

START MAIL

restrictions

Requires SYSPRV or BYPASS privileges.

SMTP consists of the sender and the receiver. Start the sender before you enable the receiver.

Do not issue this command unless SMTP has been configured (with the SET CONFIGURATION SMTP command).

Examples

TCPIP> START MAIL  
      

Starts the SMTP sender.

(To start the SMTP sender when DIGITAL TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS starts up, see the SET CONFIGURATION ENABLE SERVICE command. To start the SMTP receiver, see the ENABLE SERVICE command.)

Starts dynamic routing with ROUTED or GATED. If you want to change from one to the other, you must stop the current dynamic routing daemon then start the desired daemon. You cannot run both GATED and ROUTED at the same time.

Related commands: STOP ROUTING, SET GATED

Format

START ROUTING

[ /GATED ]
[ /LOG ]
[ /SUPPLY=DEFAULT] )

Qualifiers

/GATED

Optional.

Enables the gateway routing daemon (GATED).

If you enable dynamic GATED routing, you will be able to configure this host to use any combination of the following routing protocols to exchange dynamic routing information with other hosts on the network:

• RIP (Routing Information Protocol), Versions 1 and 2
• RDISC (Router Discovery Protocol)
• OSPF (Open Shortest Path First)
• EGP (Exterior Gateway Protocol)
• BGP (Border Gateway Protocol), BGP-4
• Static routes

/SUPPLY=DEFAULT]

Optional. Applies only to ROUTED. Do not use if /GATED is specified.

Broadcasts routing information to other hosts in 30-second intervals.

/SUPPLY=DEFAULT: Local host supplies the default network route.

/LOG

Optional. Applies to ROUTED. Do not use if /GATED is specified.

Logs routing activity to OPERATOR.LOG. Default: No logging.

Examples

TCPIP> START ROUTING /GATED
      

Starts GATED dynamic routing on the running system.

TCPIP> START ROUTING  
      

Interactively starts ROUTED dynamic routing on the running system.

TCPIP> START ROUTING /SUPPLY  
      

Immediately starts ROUTED dynamic routing. The local host both broadcasts and receives network routing information.

Shuts down all the running DIGITAL TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS software, specifically:

• Stops I/O operations
• Closes device sockets, pending cancellation of I/O operations
• Deallocates buffers
• Deletes interfaces
• Deletes automatic routes from the routes database

To resume communications, reload and restart DIGITAL TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS.

Related command: START COMMUNICATION

Format

STOP COMMUNICATION

restrictions

If you use this command, you must also issue several other commands. Compaq highly recommends that, instead of this command, you use the TCPIP$INET_SHUTDOWN.COM procedure.

Requires OPER privileges.

Stops SMTP queuing.

Usually, you need to issue this command only immediately before issuing ANALYZE MAIL.

Note Compaq recommends that you do not use this command.

Related commands: ANALYZE MAIL, SHOW MAIL, START MAIL

Format

STOP MAIL

restrictions

Requires SYSPRV or BYPASS privileges.

Examples

TCPIP> STOP MAIL  
      

Stops SMTP queuing.

Deallocates the existing data structures needed for host lookups and stops the BIND resolver.

Note Compaq recommends that you do not issue STOP NAME_SERVICE. Use this command only in rare instances when you cannot stop the resolver with normal methods.

Format

STOP NAME_SERVICE

Examples

TCPIP> STOP NAME_SERVICE   
      

Stops the BIND resolver.

Stops dynamic routing. If GATED routing is used, stops dynamic routing but preserves GATED routes in the routing table.

Use with SET NOROUTE when you require full manual control over the routing table.

Related command: START ROUTING

Format

STOP ROUTING [ /GATED ]

Qualifiers

/GATED

Optional.

Use to stop GATED dynamic routing and remove all GATED routes from routing table.

Issue the TCPTRACE command at the DCL ($) prompt. For a description of the TCPTRACE utility, see the discussion of performance tuning in the DIGITAL TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Management manual or type:

$ HELP TCPTRACE

Makes unknown to the NFS server either a mapped (logically linked) OpenVMS disk or container file system.

Unmapping removes a logical file system, also called Network File System (NFS). Unmapped file systems are not accessible to remote users working on NFS clients.

Related commands: MAP, SHOW MAP, SET CONFIGURATION NOMAP

Format

UNMAP "/path/name" [ /[NO]NOCONFIRM ]

restrictions

/NOCONFIRM

Optional. Default: /CONFIRM if you use a wildcard.

Requests confirmation before unmapping each file system.

Examples

TCPIP> UNMAP "/disk_host"  
      

Unmaps the NFS file system /remote, making it unavailable to client users.

Clears statistics for the specified internet interface.

Related commands: SET INTERFACE, SHOW INTERFACE

Format

ZERO INTERFACE interface

restrictions

Requires OPER privileges.

Parameters

interface

Required.

Interface name of the communication controller.

Examples

[ /SERVICES ]
[ /USER_NAME=vms_user_name ]

restrictions

Requires SYSNAM and WORLD privileges.

With /USER_NAME, clears the counters relating to the specified users sharing the specified OpenVMS account.

/SERVICES

Optional. Default: NFS server services.

Resets the counters for the NFS server, MOUNT, and Portmapper services.

/USER_NAME=vms_user_name

Optional. Default: All users, all hosts.
