Conﬁguring TCP/IP Services

3.5 Making Conﬁguration Changes Take Effect

Whenever you conﬁgure the core TCP/IP Services software (the core

environment), you must then start (or restart) TCP/IP Services to make the

changes take effect. Do this before you run tests or customize the environment.

Start TCP/IP Services from TCPIP$CONFIG by following the procedure described

in Section 3.7.

If you made changes to the client, server, or optional components only (that

is, not to the core environment), you do not have to restart TCP/IP Services;

to initialize the changes, you can restart the affected components individually

by choosing the ‘‘Start service’’ option in the affected component’s conﬁguration

menu. Alternatively, you can use each component’s startup command procedure,

as described in Section 3.10.3.

You can have the TCP/IP Services software started automatically each time the

OpenVMS operating system is rebooted, or you can restart the software manually,

as explained in Section 3.10.

3.6 Stopping TCP/IP Services Using TCPIP$CONFIG

Stop TCP/IP Services on your system by choosing option 5 (Shutdown Compaq

TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS) from the Main Conﬁguration menu, as in the

following example:
