6: Customizing the System Configuration
DC 900-1333Q 159
6.1 Determine If You Need to Customize System Configuration
Most sites, especially sites using the default installation and only one protocol, only
need to edit the
bootcfg file to specify the protocol for each ICP. You might, however,
decide to further customize the files for any of the following reasons:
If you installed more than one protocol (for example, AWS and X.25), you must
edit the boot configuration file (
bootcfg) to indicate which ICP will be downloaded
with which protocol. See Section 6.3.
If you want to specify error message logging or message tracing, you might want
to modify the server TSI configuration file (
muxcfg). Be very careful if you modify
parameters in the server TSI configuration file that control server resources, such
as the TSI buffer pool size or message size, because improper values could
adversely affect server operation. See Section 6.4 and Section 6.5.
If you want to use more than one local area network interface (for example, dual
Ethernet), you may edit the boot configuration file (
bootcfg) or the SRA startup file
(
rc.startsra) to indicate which added interface type is to be used, the IP address to
assign to that interface, and the subnet mask to set for the interface. See
Section 6.3.
If you want to establish a gateway to a destination network or specify a default
gateway, you can do this in the boot configuration file (bootcfg). See Section 6.3.
If you want to run a server resident application (SRA) at system startup, you can
start the executable SRA module as a batch job in the SRA startup file (
rc.startsra)
See Section 6.3.
You might need to decrease either the buffer size or number of buffers in the
server TSI configuration file (
muxcfg) to eliminate memory allocation errors when
Freeway boots. See Section 6.4 and Section 6.5.
