Enable the client components you plan to use, or enter option A to configure options 1 through 7. The following FTP client script is an example of the display for each client component:
FTP CLIENT Configuration Service is not enabled. FTP CLIENT configuration options: 1 - Enable service on this node [E] - Exit FTP_CLIENT configuration Enter configuration option: 1 [Return] The FTP SERVER is enabled. * Do you want to configure the FTP SERVER [NO] ? [Return] |
After you configure the client components (and their related server components, if applicable), the Server Components menu is displayed:

Enable the server components you plan to use, or enter option A to configure options 1 through 17.
The following BIND server configuration script is an example of a display for server components, although some components prompt you for additional information.
BIND SERVER Configuration Service is not defined in the SYSUAF. Service is not defined in the TCPIP$SERVICE database. Service is not enabled. BIND SERVER configuration options: 1 - Enable service on this node [E] - Exit BIND configuration Enter configuration option: 1 [Return] The TCPIP$AUX identifier already exists with value 3655.

After you configure the server components, press Return to go to the
main Configuration menu. Enter option 4, Optional Components.
3.2.5 Configuring the Optional Components
You may need to configure optional product components if you plan to do one or more of the following:
When you enter option 4 from the Main Configuration menu, the Optional Components menu displays the following menu options:
DIGITAL TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Optional Components Configuration Menu Configuration options: 1 - Configure PWIP Driver (for DECnet-Plus and PATHWORKS) 2 - Configure SRI QIO Interface (INET Driver) 3 - Set up Anonymous FTP Account and Directories A - Configure options 1 - 3 [E] - Exit menu |
Enter the options that are appropriate for your system: the PWIP driver, the SRI QIO interface, or Anonymous FTP accounts or directories.
$ @SYS$MANAGER:TCPIP$LOAD_INETDRIVER |
If you are an experienced TCP/IP Services user, you may want to bypass the configuration menus to enable or disable functionality, as follows:
$ @SYS$MANAGER:TCPIP$CONFIG [option] {DISABLE | ENABLE} [CLUSTER] |
ALL | Configures the core environment and all client and server components. |
CLUSTER | Configures all specified components clusterwide (except for the BIND server and SMTP, which you cannot configure clusterwide). |
CLIENT | Configures all client components and related software. |
ENABLE | Enables the specified components. |
DISABLE | Disables the specified components. |
MINIMUM | Configures the domain, Internet interfaces, remote login, FTP client, FTP server, TELNET client, and TELNET server. |
SERVER | Configures all server components and related software. |
WORKSTATION | Configures the BIND resolver, the domain, dynamic routing, Internet interfaces, time zone, remote login, remote shell, remote executive, FTP client, FTP server, TELNET client, TELNET server, and SMTP. |
$ @SYS$MANAGER:TCPIP$CONFIG CLIENT ENABLE CLUSTER |
The procedure implements two levels of enabling and disabling: clusterwide and single node (except for the BIND server and SMTP, which are configured and enabled as node-specific only). |
You must start TCP/IP Services after you configure the standard software and optional components, but before you run tests or customize the environment.
Start TCP/IP Services on your system as follows:
$ @SYS$MANAGER:TCPIP$CONFIG |
You can verify the configuration by running the installation verification procedure (IVP).
You should run the IVP if the following apply:
Before you run the IVP, make sure TCP/IP Services has started and you have SYSPRV, OPER, NETMBX, and TMPMBX privileges.
Run the IVP as follows:
$ @SYS$MANAGER:TCPIP$CONFIG |
%TCPIP-E-IDENT, explanation of error. |
Problem | Corrective Action |
---|---|
Network configuration is incorrect. | Shut down TCP/IP Services and rerun the configuration procedure. |
Startup fails. |
Check the system parameters in the MODPARAMS.DAT file and adjust them
if necessary. (See Section 1.2.7.)
Shut down and restart TCP/IP Services. |
The installation kit is defective. | Request a replacement kit. |
The IVP fails because the PAK is missing. | Register a DIGITAL TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS PAK. |
$ @SYS$TEST:TCPIP$IVP |
After you run TCPIP$CONFIG and enable the functionality and components appropriate for your network, you need to complete additional configuration tasks to enable access to product applications. TCP/IP Services provides a management command interface and logical names you can use to modify or customize the software for your environment.
The additional configuration tasks include:
For information about these and other configuration tasks, see the
DIGITAL TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Management guide.
3.7 Automatically Starting and Stopping TCP/IP Services
To allow TCP/IP Services software to start automatically when the system starts up and to stop automatically when the system shuts down, edit the SYS$COMMON[SYSMGR]:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM file and include the following commands:
@SYS$STARTUP:TCPIP$STARTUP @SYS$STARTUP:TCPIP$SHUTDOWN |
Because the UCX$STARTUP.COM and UCX$SHUTDOWN.COM files are no longer applicable, delete any definition of them from SYS$COMMON[SYSMGR]:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM.
For TCP/IP Services to start after you log in to your OpenVMS account, the OpenVMS systemwide login procedure (typically SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGIN.COM) must have World read and execute protections (W:RE).
To display the current protections, enter:
$ DIRECTORY SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGIN.COM /PROTECTION |
If the protections are not W:RE, enter:
$ SET PROTECTION=(W:RE) SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGIN.COM |
To enable TCP/IP Services as the transport interface for DECwindows applications, add the following line to the SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM command procedure:
$ DECW$SERVER_TRANSPORTS == "DECNET,LOCAL,TCPIP" |
Then restart DECwindows:
$ @SYS$STARTUP:DECW$STARTUP RESTART |
If DECnet or DECnet-Plus software runs on the system, start it.
To display DECwindows applications from a DECwindows client (remote host) to a DECwindows server (your workstation), proceed as follows:
$ DECW$SERVER_TRANSPORTS == "DECNET,LOCAL,TCPIP" |
$ SET DISPLAY/CREATE/NODE=remote_host/TRANSPORT=TCPIP |
