Managing TCP/IP Services
1.1 Getting Started
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 BIND
• SET CONFIGURATION COMMUNICATION
• SET CONFIGURATION ENABLE SERVICE
• SET CONFIGURATION DISABLE SERVICE
• SET CONFIGURATION INTERFACE
• SET CONFIGURATION NAME_SERVICE
• SET CONFIGURATION PROTOCOL
• SET CONFIGURATION SMTP
• SET CONFIGURATION SNMP
• SET CONFIGURATION START ROUTING
• SET CONFIGURATION START NOROUTING
Note
Throughout this manual, all commands are assumed to be TCP/IP
management commands. Any DCL commands that are mentioned are

For a full description of the TCP/IP management commands and a
discussion of how to use them, see the Compaq TCP/IP Services for
