Installation guide

You can install and use the DECnet software and any of its related
software on a DIGITAL UNIX system.
• Socket interface (both BSD 4.3 and BSD 4.4) and X/Open Transport
Interface (XTI) to TCP/IP
• STREAMS mechanism to support development of network services and
data communications drivers
The DIGITAL UNIX system does not support the packet filter pseudodevice
driver.
The following section gives an overview of the DIGITAL UNIX Internet
network environment by describing similarities and differences from the
ULTRIX environment.
4.11.1 TCP/IP Network Management Commands
When you manage a TCP/IP host, you use a number of commands to set
up, determine the status of, and modify network parameters. This section
gives an overview of some of the commonly used commands and explains
how the commands differ from their ULTRIX equivalent commands. For a
list of all command differences between ULTRIX and DIGITAL UNIX, see
Appendix A.
The following list describes commonly used network management
commands:
• arp
The arp command displays and modifies Address Resolution Protocol
tables.
This command is the same on DIGITAL UNIX and ULTRIX systems,
except that on a DIGITAL UNIX system the arp command does not
support the reading of a core file.
• ifconfig
The ifconfig command displays and configures network interface
parameters.
This command is the same on DIGITAL UNIX and ULTRIX systems.
• hostid
The hostid command displays the identifier of the local host.
This command is the same on DIGITAL UNIX and ULTRIX systems.
• MAKEHOSTS
The MAKEHOSTS command is unavailable on DIGITAL UNIX systems.
• netsetup
