ROUTE Object Type
names of the processes associated with each environment. The LISTDEV command
displays all the TCP/IP processes running on the system. The last field in the display is
Program. A program name of TCPSAM indicates a Parallel Library TCP/IP process
while a program name of TCPIP indicates a conventional TCP/IP process.
To obtain a list of all running PTCPIP processes, enter the SCF LISTDEV PTCPIP
command. (This command also gives you a list of the running TCPMON objects.)
Again, the process type (TCPMON or TCPMAN) is identified in the program field.
ROUTE Object Type
The ROUTE object is the path a data packet travels to reach its destination. Instead of
specifying a full path, a route specifies the packet’s first host address and the packet’s
destination. The first host then routes the packet to the next appropriate address
in-route to the destination. This sequence repeats until the packet reaches the
destination.
Often, a NonStop S-series server routes all packets to a default host, which in turn
maintains a more complete routing table.
Each time you add a subnet, a route is created automatically. You can add more routes
as necessary. Refer to TCP/IP Configuration and Management Manual, for a full
explanation of routes and routing.
You must assign a unique ROUTE object name to each route associated with a given
process. The ROUTE object name can have at most seven alphanumeric characters.
The first character must be a letter. Table 5-1 shows an example of ROUTE object
naming conventions. Names starting with DD, DA, RT, DR and EA are reserved.
To omit the process name and period and just specify the route name, set the default
process name with the ASSUME command. For further information on the ASSUME
command, including the required syntax, refer to the SCF Reference Manual for G-
Series RVUs.
SUBNET Object Type
The SUBNET is the point of connection between the Parallel Library TCP/IP and an I/O
device.
All subnets are associated with the TCPMAN process. Each subnet name must be
unique within the system. The name can have at most seven alphanumeric characters.
The first character must be a letter.
