4. NET-CONFIG Command Reference

 

 

This chapter describes the commands you can run from the NET-CONFIG command line. NET-CONFIG lets you examine, modify, and save configuration files for MultiNet network interfaces.

To invoke NET-CONFIG:

$ MULTINET CONFIGURE /INTERFACES

At any NET-CONFIG prompt, you can list the available commands by typing ?. Online help for each NET-CONFIG command is available through the NET-CONFIG HELP command.

Of the SET commands, the SET LOAD-EXOS-DRIVER and SET WINS-COMPATIBILITY commands require that you reboot the system after you use the command; all other SET commands can be executed without rebooting the system.

For details on configuring network interfaces, refer to the MultiNet Installation and Administrator’s Guide.

Specifies the name of the device interface to add.

Refer to the below table for a list of supported network interfaces and the corresponding interface parameters for which you are prompted. For descriptions of interface parameters, refer to the following table.

Type

Description

nsip

Interface name: nsip0, nsip1, ... nsip9
Device type: IPX-over-IP tunnel

 

Parameter Prompt

Example Value

IP address of remote system:

10.1.10.70

 

The nsip interface provides access to IPX-over-IP for connecting to Novell's IP tunnel feature.

pd

Interface name: pd0
Device type: Secondary Ethernet Address

 

Parameter Prompt

Example Value

TCP/IP

10.1.128.21

Hardware-Device

se0

IP SubNet Mask

None

Non-Standard IP Broadcast Address

None

pd0 (Secondary Ethernet Address)

Csr=None, Flags=%X0

IPv6 on this interface [DISABLED]

ENABLE

IPv6 global address [NONE]

fe80:0db8:ac10:fe01

IPv6 mask length

16

 

Careless assignment of a secondary address can cause network problems. In general, you should assign pseudo devices (pd) addresses on the same network or subnet as the se device to which the pd device is linked.

 

If the pd interface is not in the same IP network as its associated se interface, some TCP/IP packages retransmit broadcast packets for the other IP network back to the network segment from which they were transmitted. This can cause network storms.

 

 

Note: GateD will listen to traffic on pseudo devices in MultiNet. Some services listen to traffic on se interfaces only and ignore traffic on pd interfaces. One such service is the RIP listener in GATED.

 

ppp

Interface name: ppp0, ...
Device type: Any supported PPP terminal interface

 

Parameter Prompt                                                    Example Value

NET-CONFIG Prompts

Function

ACCM Mask

Asynchronous Control Character Map Mask. A 32-bit mask that indicates the set of ASCII control characters to be mapped into two-character sequences for transparent transmission over the line. The default is %x00000000.

Address and Control Field Compression (ACFC)

When ON, PPP eliminates the address and control fields when they are identical over a series of frames. The default is OFF.

Authentication Method

Determines the type of remote peer authentication required to allow network- layer protocol packets to be exchanged. Accepted values are PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) and NONE (the default).

Baud Rate

Indicates the baud rate of transmission. Possible values are: 110, 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, and UNSPECIFIED.

BSD Trailer Encapsulation

For 10Mb/sec Ethernet controllers only. Can be used to enable Berkeley Trailer encapsulation of IP packets on those Ethernets. There are two possible settings: NEGOTIATED or DISABLED. The default, DISABLED, prevents the use of trailer encapsulation.

Hardware Device

The name of the real Ethernet device; for example, se0.

Header Compression Mode

For PPP and SLIP devices, indicates whether to use Van Jacobson's TCP header compression algorithm. The parameter has three possible settings: DISABLED, ENABLED, or NEGOTIATED. DISABLED indicates that headers should never be compressed. ENABLED indicates that headers should always be compressed. The default is DISABLED. NEGOTIATED indicates that headers should not be compressed until a compressed header is received from the other side. At least one side of a link must be ENABLED for compression to be used; that is, both sides of a link cannot be set to NEGOTIATED for compression to be used.

ICMP

When ENABLED (the default), PPP allows ICMP packets over the PPP connection. Administrators may want to disable ICMP packets if they are concerned with "service attacks" from dial-up connections.

Idle Timeout

Determines how long (in seconds) the connection must be idle before PPP attempts to close it with "Terminate-Request" packets. The default is 0.

IP Address

Indicates the Internet address, in dotted decimal notation, associated with the interface. For PPP interfaces, you can specify 0.0.0.0 to indicate that the local IP address will be specified by the remote peer when a serial connection is established. The default is 0.0.0.0.

IP Address of remote system

Indicates the Internet address associated with the remote system.

IP Broadcast Address

For devices that support broadcasts, allows the setting of a non-standard IP broadcast address. The parameter defaults to an address whose host portion is all ones.

IP Subnet Mask

The subnet mask of the local interface in dotted decimal format. The default depends on the local interface IP address. For example, a class A address results in a default subnet mask of 255.0.0.0.

IPv6 global address

Indicates the global unique address associated with this interface.  The interface may also have a link-local address which will be automatically generated when the interface is started

IPv6 mask length

The length of the mask for the IPv6 address.

Link Level Encapsulation Mode

For Ethernet devices, indicates whether to use the standard Ethernet encapsulation of IP datagrams, or extended 802.2 encapsulation as specified in RFC 1042. Enter either ETHERNET or 802.2 as the value.

Maximum Receive Unit (MRU) Size

Determines the maximum number of 8-bit bytes for the PPP Information field, including Padding, but not including the Protocol field. Because opposite ends of a PPP connection may have different MRU values, PPP negotiates a suitable MRU for both systems. The default is 500.

Point-To-Point Device IP Destination Address

For point-to-point interfaces, indicates the IP address of the peer system on the other side of the connection. The default is 0.0.0.0.

Protocol Compression

When ON, PPP negotiates with the peer to use one byte instead of two for the Protocol fields to improve transmission efficiency on low-speed lines. Default is OFF.

Retry Count

Determines the number of attempts PPP makes to configure a connection with "Configure-Request" packets. The default is 0.

Termination Retry Count

Determines the number of attempts PPP makes to terminate a connection with "Terminate-Request" packets. The default is 0.

Timeout

Determines the time (in seconds) between successive Configure-Request or Terminate-Request packets. The default is 0.

VMS Device

For devices that use a VMS device driver to interface with the hardware, indicates the name of the VMS device that MultiNet will use. This parameter is used with HP Ethernet, PPP, and SLIP interfaces.

ATTACH

Detaches the terminal from the calling process and reattaches it to another process. Use the SPAWN SHOW PROCESS /SUBPROCESSES command to list the names of subprocesses. Use the DCL LOGOUT command to return to the original process. If the MULTINET_DISABLE_SPAWN logical is enabled, ATTACH does not work.

 

FORMAT

ATTACH process-name

 

PARAMETER

process_name

Specifies the name of a process to which you want our terminal attached. (Not all subprocesses can be attached; some testing may be required.)

 

EXAMPLE

$ MULTINET CONFIGURE  /NETWORK_DEVICES
MultiNet Network Configuration Utility 5.6 (nnn)
[Reading in MAXIMUM configuration from MULTINET:MULTINET.EXE]
[Reading in configuration from MULTINET:NETWORK_DEVICES.CONFIGURATION]
NET-CONFIG>SPAWN
$ MM
MM>SPAWN SHOW PROCESS /SUB
...
There are 3 processes in this job:
_TWA42:
  PROC_1
   PROC_2 (*)
MM>ATTACH _TWA42:
NET-CONFIG>ATTACH PROC_1
MM>QUIT
$ LOGOUT
NET-CONFIG>

This example shows the use and exit of attached subprocesses.

1.      The first command uses SPAWN to create a subprocess. MM is invoked from the DCL command line. Next, the SPAWN SHOW PROCESS/SUB command is used to list all the subprocess names. The display shows that three subprocesses are active. (Process _TWA42: is NET-CONFIG, PROC_1 is MM, and PROC_2 is the SPAWN SHOW PROCESS/SUB command.)

2.      In the next command, the MM ATTACH command returns control to the NET-CONFIG process. From this utility, ATTACH returns control to MM. To exit, QUIT is invoked from MM, and LOGOUT is invoked at the original spawned DCL command line; control returns back to NET-CONFIG. (If SPAWN SHOW PROCESS/SUB had been entered, only this command and the configuration processes would be active.)

 

 

 

 


 

CHECK

Checks the configuration parameters to ensure all required information is provided. If a problem is found, an error message displays; otherwise, if the check is successful, no information displays.

 

FORMAT

SET CLUSTER-SERVICE-ADDRESS

Identifies the IP address to be used when responding to address queries for hosts specified by CLUSTER-SERVICE-NAMES.

If your host is configured with more than one interface, the DOMAINNAME service is enabled, and you are using cluster load balancing, use the CLUSTER-SERVICE-ADDRESS parameter to identify the IP address that this host will return in response to address queries for any host specified by CLUSTER-SERVICE-NAMES.

If you do not specify an address, an interface is chosen at random.

 

FORMAT

SET CLUSTER-SERVICE-ADDRESS [ip_address]

 

PARAMETER

ip_address

Specifies the IP address returned when responding to address queries from hosts identified by CLUSTER-SERVICE-NAMES.

 

EXAMPLE

This example sets the CLUSTER-SERVICE-ADDRESS parameter to 10.43.154.10 and then sets the system-wide MULTINET_CLUSTER_SERVICE_ADDRESS logical name. By setting the system-wide logical name, the CLUSTER-SERVICE-ADDRESS can be set without rebooting the system.

SET CLUSTER-SERVICE-NAMES

Lists host names to which cluster load balancing applies, and allows you to configure hosts so that TCP-based connections are directed to the host with the lightest load at the time of the request. The DOMAINNAME service must be enabled on each host. To establish this environment:

1.      Configure the primary name server for the parent domain so that it delegates authority for each host specified with the CLUSTER-SERVICE-NAMES parameter to this host.

2.      Use the CLUSTER-SERVICE-NAMES parameter to identify the hosts for which this host will accept connections.

For example, if authority for CLUSTER.EXAMPLE.COM is delegated to NODE1, NODE2, and NODE3 on the primary name servers, each node must include CLUSTER.EXAMPLE.COM in its CLUSTER-SERVICE-NAMES list. When a TCP service request is made to CLUSTER.EXAMPLE.COM, DNS returns the IP addresses of the nodes NODE1, NODE2, or NODE3, ordered by load rating.

If the host is configured with more than one interface, specify the desired interface with the CLUSTER-SERVICE-ADDRESS parameter.

 

FORMAT

SET CLUSTER-SERVICE-NAMES hostlist

 

PARAMETER

hostlist

Specifies a comma-separated list of fully qualified host names for which cluster load balancing is implemented.

 

EXAMPLE

This example sets the CLUSTER-SERVICE-NAMES parameter to CLUSTER.EXAMPLE.COM, then sets the system-wide MULTINET_CLUSTER_SERVICE_NAMES logical. By setting the system-wide logical, CLUSTER-SERVICE-NAMES can be set without rebooting the system.

SET DEFAULT-RMT-TAPE-DEVICE

Defines the default VMS tape drive that the RMT server uses. (This drive is the VMS equivalent of the UNIX /dev/rmt0 interface, and is the drive used by the rdump and rrestore programs.) If the parameter is not set, the server searches for interface types in the following order and uses the first interface it finds: MU, MK, MF, MT, and MS.

You can change the value of DEFAULT-RMT-TAPE-DEVICE without rebooting by also defining or redefining the system-wide logical name MULTINET_RMT_TAPE_DEVICE.

 

FORMAT

SET DEFAULT-RMT-TAPE-DEVICE drive_name

 

PARAMETER

SET DEFAULT-ROUTE

Defines the default IP route-that is, the IP address of the gateway that MultiNet uses for all packets sent from the local network.

You can specify more complex routing information by either:

·         Creating a MULTINET:LOCAL_ROUTES.COM file that contains a list of MULTINET
SET/ROUTE
commands that set up the routing tables on a per-network basis.

·         Running a dynamic-routing protocol such as RIP, HELLO, EGP, or BGP by configuring the GATED service.

 

 

Note: Any GATED configuration overrides a default IP route set with NET-CONFIG. Once started, GATED takes complete control of your routing.

 

 

You can change the default route without rebooting by using the MULTINET SET/ROUTE command to delete the old default route and add the new default route.

 

FORMAT

SET DEFAULT-ROUTE ip_address

 

PARAMETER

ip_address

Specifies the IP address of the gateway.

SET DOMAIN-NAMESERVERS

Configures the DNS domain resolver, the portion of MultiNet called when a host name must be translated into an Internet address. If you are using DNS, use this parameter to define the Internet addresses of the Domain Name Servers to which the resolver will send requests.

The usual setting for the parameter is the loopback address (127.0.0.1), which directs the resolver to send inquiries to the server on the local system.

To disable DNS and use the host tables instead of the service, enter the SET DOMAIN-NAMESERVERS command with no options.

You can change the value of DOMAIN-NAMESERVERS without rebooting by also defining or redefining the system-wide logical name MULTINET_NAMESERVERS and restarting the MULTINET_SERVER (@MULTINET:START_SERVER) and SMTP_SYMBIONT (@MULTINET:START_SMTP) processes.

 

FORMAT

SET DOMAIN-NAMESERVERS [address [,address ...]]

 

PARAMETER

address

Specifies the IP address of a name server. When you list multiple addresses, the resolver successively attempts to send a packet to the addresses, in the listed order, until it receives a response.

 

RESTRICTION

The resolver nameserver list can only include three IP addresses. This list is controlled by the MULTINET_NAMESERVERS logical (which is controlled by the DOMAIN-NAMESERVERS parameter).

 

EXAMPLES

This example tells the resolver to try only the local nameserver. The subsequent DCL commands change domain nameservers without rebooting the system.

SET HOST-NAME

Specifies the local computer's host name and defines the default local domain. If your configuration includes Domain Name Service (DNS), you must specify the host name in dotted format, for example, HAMLET.CALTECH.EDU or JETSON.SPROCKETS.COM.

The default local domain is derived from the HOST-NAME parameter. For example, with a host name of HAMLET.CALTECH.EDU, the default local domain is .CALTECH.EDU. MultiNet uses the default local domain to complete abbreviated host names. For example, with the default of CALTECH.EDU, if you entered the command: 

$ TELNET ROMEO

TELNET would attempt to connect to a ROMEO.CALTECH.EDU host.

You can change the value of HOST-NAME without rebooting by also defining or redefining the system-wide logical name MULTINET_HOST_NAME and restarting the MULTINET_SERVER (@MULTINET:START_SERVER) and SMTP_SYMBIONT (@MULTINET_START_STMP) processes.

SET IP-CLUSTER-ALIASES

Specifies a list of cluster-wide Internet addresses to which this node should respond.

In a VMScluster, the nodes coordinate among themselves so that only one node responds to the cluster-wide addresses at any one time. Should that node fail or be shut down, another node immediately takes over this task.

You can use this parameter with connectionless protocols (such as NFS) for automatic failover.
IP-CLUSTER-ALIASES specifies a list of IP addresses to which this node should respond in addition to the address(es) that are configured for the interfaces you define.

Disable IP-CLUSTER-ALIASES by entering the value without specifying an address.

You can change the value of IP-CLUSTER-ALIASES without rebooting by also defining or redefining the system-wide logical name MULTINET_IP_CLUSTER_ALIASES and restarting the MULTINET_SERVER (@MULTINET:START_SERVER) process.

By default, WHOIS connects to the server on the host RS.INTERNIC.NET, but can be overridden using the /HOST qualifier. Use this command to change the default server.

You can change the value of WHOIS-DEFAULT-SERVER without rebooting by also defining or redefining the system-wide logical name MULTINET_WHOIS_DEFAULT_SERVER.

 

FORMAT

SET WHOIS-DEFAULT-SERVER host

 

PARAMETER

host

Specifies the name of the server to which to connect. If not specified, the host defaults to RS.INTERNIC.NET.

 

EXAMPLE

This example sets WHOIS-DEFAULT-SERVER to FNORD.EXAMPLE.COM, then sets the system-wide logical name MULTINET_WHOIS_DEFAULT_SERVER to the same value to avoid rebooting the system after changing the WHOIS default server parameter.

SET WINS-COMPATIBILITY

Enables automatic definition of the logical names required for compatibility with applications developed for the WIN/TCP and Pathway for OpenVMS products from The Wollongong Group. The logical names allow MultiNet to support applications that run under those products. You must also generate a UNIX-format host table using the MULTINET HOST_TABLE COMPILE/UNIX command.

 

FORMAT

SET WINS-COMPATIBILITY {TRUE | FALSE}

 

PARAMETERS

TRUE

Enables the definition of the WIN/TCP and Pathway for OpenVMS compatibility logical names.

 

FALSE

Disables the definition of the WIN/TCP and Pathway for OpenVMS compatibility logical names.

[Changes take effect after the next VMS reboot]

Use the following DCL commands to enable WINS compatibility mode without a reboot:

$ DIRECTORY = F$TRNLNM("MULTINET_SPECIFIC_ROOT")  - "]"
$ DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXEC/TRANSLATION_ATTRIBUTES=CONCEAL TWG$ETC -
$_ ’DIRECTORY’MULTINET.], ’DIRECTORY’SYSCOMMON.MULTINET.]

$ DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXEC WINS_MAILSHR MULTINET:SMTP_MAILSHR
$ DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXEC DECW$TRANSPORT_WINTCP DECW$TRANSPORT_TCIP

Whether you choose to reboot or not, use the following commands to create a UNIX-format host table:

$ SET DEFAULT MULTINET_COMMON_ROOT:[MULTINET]
$ MULTINET HOST_TABLE COMPILE /UNIX
$

 

 

 

 


 

SHOW

SPAWN

Executes a single DCL command, or if entered without options, starts a subprocess with the same effect as PUSH. To return from DCL, use the LOGOUT command. If the MULTINET_DISABLE_SPAWN logical is set, SPAWN does not work.

 

FORMAT

SPAWN [command]

 

PARAMETERS

command

Specifies a command to execute. If you omit command, a DCL command line subprocess is created.

 

QUALIFIERS

/INPUT=file-spec

Specifies an input file to the command you enter with SPAWN.

 

/LOGICAL_NAMES
/NOLOGICAL_NAMES

Specifies that logical names and logical name tables are not copied to the subprocess.

 

/SYMBOLS
/NOSYMBOLS

Specifies that global and local names are not passed to the subprocess.

 

/WAIT
/NOWAIT

Returns control without waiting for the command to complete. Do not use this qualifier with commands that have prompts or screen displays.

 

/OUTPUT=file-spec

Specifies a file that retains the output of the command invoked with SPAWN. This qualifier only works when a single command is entered without creating a DCL subprocess. In addition, this qualifier is positional; you must enter it immediately after SPAWN or other qualifiers.

 

EXAMPLES

This example displays terminal information, captures the output in a file, then displays the information with the TYPE command.

$ MULTINET CONFIGURE /INTERFACE
MultiNet Network Configuration Utility 5.6 (nnn)
[Reading in MAXIMUM configuration from MULTINET:MULTINET.EXE]
[Reading configuration from MULTINET:NETWORK_DEVICES.CONFIGURATION]
