Configuring Expand-Over-IP Lines
The Expand-over-IP line-handler process provides connectivity to an Internet Protocol
(IP) network. The Expand-over-IP line-handler process uses the services of the
NonStop TCP/IP subsystem to provide Expand-over-IP connections.
NonStop TCP/IPv6 supports IP version 6 (IPv6) communications. IPv6 supports a
larger, 128-bit (16-byte) IP address that helps to address the growing number of
machines and devices on the Internet, and it supports logical network partitioning
(LNP). You can run NonStop TCP/IP and NonStop TCP/IPv6 on the same system.
For more information about NonStop TCP/IP and NonStop TCP/IPv6, refer to the
TCP/IP Configuration and Management Manual and the TCP/IPv6 Configuration and
Management Manual.
An Expand-over-IP line-handler process can be configured as a single line, as part of a
multi-line path, or as part of multi-CPU path. This section explains how to configure an
Expand-over-IP line-handler process as a single-line or as part of a multi-CPU path.
Configuring Expand-over-IP lines that are part of a multi-line path is explained in
Section 13, Configuring Multi-Line Paths.
