Q8: How do I set up tcpware?


A: To setup tcpware:

@tcpware: cnfnet menu
Tcpware (r) for open vms version 5.3-2 network configuration procedure for:

Tcp/ip services: netware services:
Ftp-open vms fss-openvms
Nfts-openvms client nps-openvms
Nfs-openvms server tes-openvms
Smtp-openvms
Telnet-openvms
Kerberos services

This procedure helps you define the parameters needed to get tcpware(r) for open vms running on this system.

This procedure created the configuration data file,
Tcpware_specific:[tcpware]tcpware_configure.com, to reflect your systems configuration.

Type <return> to continue...
Tcpware (r) for open vms configuration menu

Configuration options:
1- configure tcpware services
2- configure netware services
3- startup/restart all tcpware services
4- shutdown all tcpware services

L- display the software licensing information (password)
M- exit the configuration procedure (changes will be saved)

Enter configuration option: 1
Tcpware services configuration menu

Configuration options:

1- core environment for tcp/ip services
2- configure all tcp/ip services
3- configure a specific tcp/ip component
4- startup/restart tcp/ip services
5- shutdown tcp/ic component
6- startup/restart a specific tcp/ip component
7- shutdown a specific tcp/ip companent

E- exit to previous menu

Enter configure option: 1
Configuring the core tcp/ip environment....

Please enter your process software maintenance agreement (mas) number
If you have one and have it available. This number can be found on the top
Of you software maintenance and support acknowledgement form.

If you do not have this number, press <return> at the prompt. If you would
Like to enter this information later, you can set it using the command
$ @tcpware:cnfnet mas
Enter your maintenance agreement (mas) number [65528m]:

You need to enter the line identifications for the available network
Devices. The following is a partial list of the network devices that are
Supported:

Line id network device
Qna-n for digital's delqa, desqa, or deqna (xqdriver)
Una-n for digital's delua or denua (xedriver)
Bna-n for digital's debni, debna, or debnt (etdriver)
Sva-n for digital's desva (esdriver)
Mna-n for digital's demna (exdriver)
Isa-n for digital's vax 4000 (ezdriver)
Mfa-n for digital's demfa fddicontroller 400 (fxdriver)
Fza-n for digital's defza fddicontroller 700 (fcdriver)
Pro-n for proteon's pronet (pndriver)
Hyp-n for nsc's hyperchannel (nxdriver)
Slip-n for (static) serial line ip (any terminal device)
Decnet-n for ip over decnet (requires decnet)
Dsb-n for digital's dsb32 (sldriver)
Dst-n for digital's dst32 (zsdriver)
Dsv-n for digital's dsv11 (sjdriver)
X25-n for vax p.s.i. (ip over x.25)
Lpb-0 for local loopback (no device driver)

Unless your system has more than one controller, n is 0. Enter the line
Identification [lpb-0, isa-0, ewa-0]: ewa-0

You need to supply the following information for each line:
- the internet address for the line
- the name for the line (same as the host name if single line host, fully qualified domain name is using dns)
- the subnet mask for the line
- the line specific information (depends on the line)

If a network is not subnetted, press return at the subnet mask prompt.
Otherwise, enter the subnet mask for the network as an internet address.

These are the default subnet masks for each network class:

Network class default subnet mask
A 255.0.0.0
B 255.255.0.0
C 255.255.255.0

Using loopback (127.0.0.1)as name for line lpb-0.

What is the local host's internet address for line ewa-0 [192.168.108.100]:
What is the name for line ewa-0 [lab0]:
What is the subnet mask for line ewa-0 [255.255.255.01]
Do you want to enable trailer packet support for line ewa-0 [no]
Do you want to enable rarp (reverse arp) support for line ewa-0 [yes]
The network devices are configured as follows:

Line address name options
Lpb-0 127.0.0.1 loopback
Ewa-0 192.168.108.100 lab0 /mask=255.255.255.0
/flags=(notrailers)

Is this configuration correct [yes]:

If your network is connected to other networks, you may wish to enter the
Internet address of a default gateway. If your network has more than one
Gateway, enter the gateway "closest" to the networks that you will be
Connecting to most frequently. The (sub)network portion of the internet
Address for the gateway must match that of a locally connected (sub)
Network.

Enter 0.0.0.0 if you need to remove a previously defined default gateway or your network does not have any gateways.

Your routing requirements might be more complex if your network has
Several gateways. Handle this by adding the appropriate netcu commands (such as add route) to the tcpware_common:[tcpware]routing.com command procedure.

For more information on routing, refer to the tcpware for openvms(r)
Documentation.
