Configuring and Managing MPE/iX Internet Services (August 2002)

Chapter 1

Introduction to Internet Services

Overview of Internet Services

• Configure one or more network interface link cards that support TCP/UDP/IP communications protocol.

• Configure the Net Transport communications software which uses the TCP/UDP/IP protocol.

The necessary software and at least one TCP/UDP/IP network interface card is delivered with each PA-RISC

HP e3000 system. Internet Services runs on top of the Net Transport software and therefore runs over any

type of link supported by Net Transport.

Verifying Installation of Internet Services Files

If you have installed or updated to version C.60.00 of MPE/iX, use the following steps to verify that the

Internet Services files exist on your system:

1. If necessary, log on the system as MANAGER.SYS.

2. Enter a LISTFILE command for the NET group of the SYS account:

:LISTFILE @.NET.SYS

3. Check the list displayed on your screen and make sure that you have the following files:

BOOTPD BOOTPQRY

BPTABSMP INETD

INSECSMP INSVXL

JINETD PROTSAMP

REMSH SERVSAMP

TFTPD

4. Run the Node Manager Maintenance utility to verify that you have successfully installed the set of

Internet Services files (except for Telnet files, which you will check in Chapter 3, “Telnet Service.”)
