Using TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS, XQA adapter in the above example will be bound IP address the
following way:
$ TCPIP SET INTERFACE QE0 /HOST=192.168.21.200
$ TCPIP SET CONFIGURATION INTERFACE QE0 /HOST=192.168.21.200
Depending on exact value of network addresses being used and network topology it may be necessary
to additionally specify options
/NETWORK_MASK=x.y.z.w and /BROADCAST_MASK=m.m.m.m.
If you are using a firewall, remember to configure the firewall so it allows required connections to/from
addresses of the added VAX instance or instances.
It is also possible to set up VAX MP dual-homed configuration where XQ is attached to host NIC (such as
eth0) and XQB is attached to tapX:
It is also possible to set up VAX MP network configuration with only single network interface – either
attached to NIC (for communications only with other hosts) or attached to tapX (for communications
only with the local host or other virtual machines running on it). For example:
