Depending on exact value of network addresses you actually decide to use it may be necessary to

additionally specify options

/NETWORK_MASK=x.y.z.w and /BROADCAST_MASK=m.m.m.m.

(Dual-homed setup)

It is also possible to set-up dual-homed VAX MP network configuration under Windows, whereby a

separate connection is used between VAX instance and host computer alongside with second

connection between VAX instance and remote computers. These two categories of connections are

established via two separate host adaptors bound to two different VAX adaptors:

Such configuration may be desired in case host NIC uses TOE processing, as outlined in the section

“Single-interface setup”, or if it is desirable to keep VAX-host communication separate from VAX-remote

nodes communication for reasons such as security.

The easiest way to establish network connection between virtual VAX and host computer itself is via

Microsoft Loopback Adaptor.

Edit your VAX MP startup script to attach host interfaces to VAX MP virtual network adaptors as needed,

for example:

set xq enabled

set xq mac=08-00-2b-aa-bb-c1

set xq type=delqa

attach xq Marvell Yukon

set xqb enabled

set xqb mac=08-00-2b-aa-bb-c2

set xqb type=delqa

attach xqb MS Loopback adaptor
