Technical data

SET INTERFACE
Specifies the cluster host name (alias host identifier).
Before using this qualifier, first define the same name in the hosts database.
/CLUSTER=host associates the alias host identifier with each interface in a
cluster.
/NOCLUSTER disables Internet cluster processing on the specified interface.
Caution
When you specify /NOCLUSTER, active communication is aborted for
applications bound to the cluster alias name.
/COMPRESS= {ON | OFF | AUTOMATIC}
Optional. Default: For PPP interface: /COMPRESS=ON; for SLIP interface:
/COMPRESS=OFF
Valid for SLIP and PPP interfaces.
Enables or disables TCP header compression.
/COMPRESS=AUTOMATIC turns off compression unless the remote end begins
to use it.
/DESTINATION=IP_address
Optional.
Valid for a PPP interface.
Used on the local host to provide dialup access to remote systems. The value
specified is the IP address to be given to remote clients for use while PPP
connection is active. If you use /DESTINATION, you must provide the address of
the local host with the /HOST qualifier.
/DHCP
Optional.
Designates the interface as a DHCP-controlled interface in the volatile database.
This qualifier affects only the currently running interface.
Before you enter the SET INTERFACE command, be sure to enter the SET
NOINTERFACE command first and specify the interface you are changing.
/FLOWCONTROL
Optional. Default: No flow control.
Valid for a SLIP interface. Enables the handling of XON and XOFF characters
to properly interoperate with modems that are configured to interpret these
characters locally.
Specify /FLOWCONTROL only if the host at the other end of the line is another
host running TCP/IP Services.
/HOST=host
Required when first setting the interface; optional if the interface is already
defined. Always required for a SLIP interface. Optional for a PPP interface
unless you are setting up the local host as a dialup provider by using the
/DESTINATION qualifier.
