PRODUCT NAME: HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Version 5.6

SPD 46.46.21

DESCRIPTION

The HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS software prod-

uct is the OpenVMS implementation of the industry-

standard TCP/IP protocol suite and Internet services for

OpenVMS Industry standard 64 (I64) and OpenVMS Al-

pha systems. The kernel software is ported from the

Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) Versions 4.3 and

4.4, with enhancements from HP.

TCP/IP Services installation is integrated with the Open-

VMS installation. It provides interoperability between

OpenVMS and other operating systems that support

TCP/IP, such as UNIX® and Microsoft® Windows®.

A comprehensive suite of functions and applications

based on industry-standard protocols allow heteroge-

neous network communications and ﬁle sharing, as well

as network services such as IP/multicasting, dynamic

load balancing, remote login, network ﬁle access, re-

mote terminal access, remote printing, email, applica-

tion development, remote client booting, domain name

system (DNS), and network time protocol (NTP).

TCP/IP Services operates in both IPv4 and IPv6 net-

works, as well as in mixed environments, and provides

high availability, performance scalability for SMP sys-

tems, and secure authentication and data transfer for

remote sessions, network applications, and email.

Licenses

For Alpha systems, the following TCP/IP Services for

OpenVMS licenses are available:

License Description

Server Provides complete product function-

ality.

Client Provides a subset of the server

license. The client license does

not include BIND, BOOTP, DHCP,

failSAFE IP, TFTP, NFS server,

PC-NFS, and the load broker.

Client upgrade Provides a subset of the server

license for customers who previously

purchased a client license and now

require full functionality.

For OpenVMS I64, the Operating Environment (OE) in-

cludes the TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS product and

a server license for it.

Network Interface Layer Support

With support for multiple network interfaces for each

physical network controller, the TCP/IP Services for

OpenVMS software allows OpenVMS systems to con-

nect to individual host computers on different types of

networks:

• Ethernet for IPv4 and IPv6 (OpenVMS I64 and Open-

VMS Alpha)

• Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) for IPv4 and

IPv6 (OpenVMS Alpha only)

• Token Ring for IPv4 (OpenVMS Alpha only)

• Asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) for IPv4 (Open-

VMS Alpha only)

HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Version 5.6 SPD 46.46.21 Individual host computers can also connect with other hosts or networks over serial communications lines using either the Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP or CSLIP) or the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP). * GATED for IPv4 1 * ip6rtrd for IPv6 High Availability Note: SLIP is supported on Alpha systems only.

HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Version 5.6 SPD 46.46.21 • Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) transfers files using the UDP protocol and no authentication and is typically used during the bootstrap process of diskless systems. • Send and receive electronic mail messages locally or across the worldwide Internet. • Provide consistent, reliable, and efficient network services to all users on the Internet.

HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Version 5.6 SPD 46.46.21 The main benefit of NFS Version 3 is increased maximum file size—up to 1 terabyte for an OpenVMS file system and up to 4 gigabytes for a container file system. Performance gains may result from the improvements to file-size processing and the enhanced write performance that allows the NFS server to acknowledge a write operation before the files are actually written to disk.

HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Version 5.6 SPD 46.46.21 • DHCP dynamically updates BIND using a feature that allows DHCP clients to be configured with a registered name. DHCP uses this name to assign an address when it updates the BIND database. In addition, this release offers both a DHCP client and server, which provides a centralized approach to the configuration and maintenance of IP address space.
