4. Translate the subnet mask to hexadecimal format. Break each byte into two
nibbles (four bits) and assign its hexadecimal value (hexadecimal ranges from 0 to
F):
1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1100 0000 0000
F F F F F C 0 0
5. Add the subnets for Omaha. For examples of command files, see Section 1,
Configuration Quick Start.

The term interoperability describes the cooperation of different machines in solving a
common problem. Interoperability requires that these machines communicate with
each other, share or exchange data, and execute a variety of computational tasks. To
achieve interoperability, the protocol set has to operate with many different networking
technologies.
NonStop TCP/IP runs on the NonStop operating system. NonStop TCP/IP allows
heterogeneous systems in a multinetwork environment to communicate with each
other.
NonStop TCP/IP software conforms to a number of Request for Comments (RFCs),
Internet Engineering Notes (IENs), and Military Standards (MIL-STDs) maintained by
the Defense Data Network (DDN) at the DDN Network Information Center (NIC)
operated by SRI International in Menlo Park, California. The RFCs, IENs, and
MIL-STDs define the protocols implemented by the NonStop TCP/IP software.
Conformance to DDN specifications includes operation of the Internet Protocol (IP)
over Ethernet LANs.
Managing NonStop TCP/IP Configuration Files
Two types of configuration files are associated with the NonStop TCP/IP subsystem:

A configuration command file (startup file)

Configuration files for NonStop TCP/IP protocols and services
For information on startup command files, see Section 1, Configuration Quick Start
and
Section 3, Configuring the NonStop TCP/IP Subsystem
. For information on the
configuration files for protocols and services, see Section 3, Configuring the NonStop
TCP/IP Subsystem.
Retrieving Configuration Information
SCF provides several commands that retrieve configuration information for the objects
associated with the NonStop TCP/IP subsystem. The INFO, LISTOPENS, NAMES,
