Using TCP/IP Services Management Commands
1.2 UNIX Management Commands
Table 1–3 (Cont.) UNIX Management Commands
Command Description
nfsstat Displays statistical information about the network file system (NFS)
and remote procedure call (RPC) interfaces in the kernel. It can also be
used to reinitialize this information.
ripquery Requests all routes known by a RIP gateway by sending a RIP request
or a POLL command.
route Allows you to manipulate the routing table manually. Normally, a
system routing table management component, such as GATED or
ROUTED, will tend to this task.
sysconfig Manages and displays network attributes in the kernel subsystem
configuration.
sysconfigdb Manages and displays network attributes in the subsystem
configuration table (TCPIP$ETC:SYSCONFIGTAB.DAT).
traceroute Displays the route that packets take to a network host.
whois Displays user, host, and organization names in the Network
Information Center (NIC) database.
1.2.2 Using UNIX Management Commands
To use UNIX management commands at the DCL prompt, execute the command
procedure SYS$MANAGER:TCPIP$DEFINE_COMMANDS.COM. For example:
$ @SYS$MANAGER:TCPIP$DEFINE_COMMANDS.COM
This command procedure defines process-specific commands that enable you to
enter UNIX commands from the DCL prompt. Note that execution of a UNIX
command in a DCL command procedure does not return an error in $STATUS, so
you cannot test for the failure of a UNIX comand in a DCL command procedure.
The following command shows how to obtain information about an interface
configured on your host. Note the use of quotation marks to preserve the case
of the command option. You must enclose uppercase options in quotation marks
when entering UNIX commands.
$ ifconfig "WF0"
The following is displayed:
WF0: flags=c43<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,SIMPLEX>
rxmt 1000, reach time 30000, dad tries 1, MT 4352, hops 64, token len 64
inet 16.20.208.100 netmask ffff0000 broadcast 16.20.255.255 ipmtu 4470
inet6 fe80::200:f8ff:fe66:2e35
For more information about UNIX command options and flags, refer to the
HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Tuning and Troubleshooting manual, or
enter HELP unix_command at the TCPIP> prompt. For example, to display
information about the netstat command, enter:
TCPIP> HELP NETSTAT
