Where to Go for More Information
To use this manual, you should be familiar with HP NonStop system architecture and
DSM; have a reading knowledge of DDL; and have a working knowledge of the TCP,
IP, UDP, Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP), and the language in which you are
working: TAL, C, COBOL, or TACL.
The TCP/IP Configuration and Management Manual is considered the introductory
manual for all of the NonStop TCP/IP manuals. Before you begin to operate the
TCP/IP subsystem, you must accomplish a number of configuration steps as explained
in this prerequisite manual.
In addition to providing configuration instructions, the TCP/IP Configuration and
Management Manual covers management issues related to NonStop TCP/IP software
and includes an extensive list of outside references on the TCP/IP protocols.
