1 Configuration Quick Start
This section provides concise examples of setting up the HP NonStop TCP/IP
environment. The services are not described in detail in this section; for more detailed
information, see Networking Services Provided in the Guardian Environment on
page 3-28, and Appendix B, NonStop TCP/IP Processes and Protocols
. For more
complex configuration examples, see Section 3, Configuring the NonStop TCP/IP
Subsystem.
The first example establishes a NonStop TCP/IP host environment which includes a
TELNET service (TACL) and a LISTNER service (FTP server, ECHO server and
FINGER server). Host name resolution is through a HOSTS file.
The second example shows how to safely stop your NonStop TCP/IP environment.
Before you shut down the machine or bring up a new version of NonStop TCP/IP,
follow this procedure.
The third example shows how to add an external Domain Name Server for address
resolution. Many IP networks, particularly those connected to the Internet, include
Domain Name Servers for host name resolution. In this example, the use of an
external Domain Name Server is added for host name resolution.
The fourth example shows how to take advantage of NonStop parallel architecture by
configuring multiple NonStop TCP/IP environments in multiple processors (CPUs). In
this example, a second set of NonStop TCP/IP processes are configured against a
second host IP address. A new command file called TCPIPDN1 is needed to shut
down the second NonStop TCP/IP environment. The fifth example shows how to
create the command file to bring down the second environment.
The sixth and seventh examples show you how to configure TCP/IP for Asynchronous
Transfer Mode (ATM).
Gather Information
Before you begin to configure NonStop TCP/IP you’ll need to gather information about
your system. Add the information you gather to the form in Figure 1-1, TCP/IP
Configuration Form, on page 1-5.
Host Name
This is the name of the host being set up. The host name is arbitrary, you assign it.
Example 1-1 uses the host name breeze. Example 1-6 uses the host name TCPX. This
is item 1 in the configuration form.
IP Address of Host
This is the IP address of the host being set up. Get this IP address from the network
administrator. Example 1-1 uses the IP address 150.20.30.1. This is item 2 in the
configuration form.
