Configuring TCP/IP Services
3.8 Verifying the Configuration
• You require the software to transfer device socket packets that continuously
vary in size between a sender and a receiver.
• You need to test the Portmapper service with a pair of client/server programs.
The IVP reports the time it took to run the test to SYS$OUTPUT.
• You need to test your SNMP service.
Before you run the IVP, make sure TCP/IP Services has started and you have
SYSPRV, OPER, NETMBX, and TMPMBX privileges.
You can run the IVP from the TCPIP$CONFIG configuration procedure or by
command line at the OpenVMS DCL prompt. When you run the IVP from
TCPIP$CONFIG, you have the option of running an additional test that verifies
the SNMP configuration.
3.8.1 Running the IVP from the TCPIP$CONFIG Command Procedure
In the TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Main Configuration menu, choose option 7
(Run tests). The Test menu appears, as in the following example:
Compaq TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS TEST Menu
Test options:
1 - Internet IVP
2 - SNMP IVP
A - Tests 1 - 2
[E] - Exit menu
Enter test option:
Choose the appropriate option for the test you want to perform.
3.8.2 Running the IVP from the OpenVMS DCL Prompt
To run the IVP at the DCL prompt, any time after exiting the configuration
procedure, enter the following command. This procedure performs the same test
as option 1 (Internet IVP) of the TCPIP$CONFIG Test menu.
$ @SYS$TEST:TCPIP$IVP
3.8.3 Verifying the TCP/IP Services Internet Configuration
When you choose either option 1 or option A from the TCPIP$CONFIG Test
menu, or run the TCPIP$IVP command procedure at the command line, the
IVP tests the basic TCP/IP Services software configuration, as in the following
example. Here, the test completes successfully.
Enter test option: 1
