HP TCPIP Services for OpenVMS Management

This manual, "HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Management (Order Number: BA548-90006, July 2006)", provides comprehensive information for experienced OpenVMS and UNIX system and network managers on how to configure and manage the HP TCP/IP Services product (Version 5.6) on OpenVMS Alpha and I64 systems (Version 8.3).

The document covers day-to-day management tasks across seven main parts:

• Network Connectivity: Configuring network interfaces (including serial lines like PPP and SLIP), setting up failSAFE IP, and managing static and dynamic routing using daemons like ROUTED and GATED.
• Name Services (BIND): Setting up and managing the BIND Version 9 server and resolver, including DNS cluster load balancing and DNSSEC security features.
• Core Network Services: Configuring and managing DHCP (server and client), BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol), TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol), Portmapper, NTP (Network Time Protocol), and SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol).
• Network Applications: Detailed guidance on TELNET, FTP (File Transfer Protocol), Remote (R) commands (e.g., RCP, RLOGIN, RSH, REXEC, RMT/RCD), SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol), POP (Post Office Protocol), IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol), and XDMCP-compatible X displays.
• Network File Services: Configuring and managing NFS (Network File System) server and client, and PC-NFS for transparent file sharing.
• Printing Services: Setting up and managing LPR/LPD (Line Printer Remote/Line Printer Daemon) print services, TELNETSYM (TELNET print symbiont), and PC-NFS printing.
• Appendices: Reference information including GATED configuration, EBCDIC/DMCS translation tables, and NFS file name conversion rules.

The manual assumes a working knowledge of OpenVMS system management, TCP/IP networking, and terminology.
