Configuring TCP/IP Services
3.3 Running TCPIP$CONFIG
The initial status of the components depends on whether you have other TCP/IP
Services installations in place on the system, and whether the software or
individual components have been started. On a new system, all the components
would be disabled (the default). The status of components is also affected by the
selections you made from the Core Environment menu.
To minimize resource consumption, enable and start only those components that
you are sure to use. Disable those you do not plan to use.
To configure all the client components, choose option A.
The following is an example of the output for configuring an FTP client. The
configuration output for other clients might vary. Note that after you configure a
client (such as FTP) that has an associated server, the configuration prompts you
about whether to configure the corresponding server.
Enter configuration option: 1
Return
FTP CLIENT Configuration
Service is enabled on specific node.
Service is stopped.
FTP CLIENT configuration options:
1 - Disable service on this node
2 - Start service on this node
[E] - Exit FTP_CLIENT configuration
Enter configuration option: 1
Return
The FTP SERVER is enabled.
* Do you want to configure the FTP SERVER [NO] ?
Return
In the preceding example, the FTP client was originally enabled, and you chose
option 1 to disable it. The following example shows the configuration output that
might be seen if you want to enable an FTP client that had been disabled.
FTP CLIENT Configuration
Service is not enabled.
Service is stopped.
FTP CLIENT configuration options:
1 - Enable service on this node
2 - Enable & Start service on this node
[E] - Exit FTP_CLIENT configuration
Enter configuration option: 2
Return
In this example, as with the previous one, the TCP/IP Services software has
already been started, so you have the choice of starting the client as well as
enabling it. If you choose option 1, the FTP service is enabled and FTP starts the
next time TCP/IP Services is started. If you choose option 2, the FTP service is
started immediately and then every time the TCP/IP Services is started.
If the TCP/IP Services software is not already started, then the FTP Client
Components Configuration menu gives you only the option of enabling the
component, as in the following example:
1 - Enable service on this node
[E] - Exit FTP_CLIENT configuration
