7.8.4 Configuring DECnet

If you installed DECnet, or if you added DECnet during an upgrade, you must now configure
DECnet. Follow the instructions provided for the version of DECnet you installed. Licensing
requirements for OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS Integrity servers, respectively, are as follows:

OpenVMS Alpha systems: to receive either basic DECnet functionality or extended DECnet
functionality, the appropriate license must be registered and loaded (the DECnet End System
License or the DECnet Extended Function License, respectively).

OpenVMS Integrity server systems: the DECnet End System License is included with the
Base Operating Environment (BOE). If you want your system to take advantage of the
advanced features of DECnet (such as routing, DTSS server, DNS server), you must register
and load the DECnet-Plus Extended Function License.

To load and register licenses, perform the steps described in

Section 7.3 (page 128)

.

If you installed DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS software, see the DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS Release
Notes
and the HP DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS Installation and Configuration manual for information
about how to configure this software using the NET$CONFIGURE procedure.

If you installed DECnet Phase IV, see the DECnet for OpenVMS Guide to Networking manual for
information about configuring this software using the NETCONFIG command procedure.

Once you have configured DECnet Phase IV, edit
SYS$COMMON:[SYSMGR]SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM so that the software starts when the system
reboots. (This step is not required if you are running DECnet-Plus.) You can have the software
start interactively or in batch mode by making one of the following changes:

Interactive mode:

Before:

$!$ START/NETWORK DECNET

After:

$ START/NETWORK DECNET

Batch mode:

Before:

$!$ SUBMIT SYS$MANAGER:STARTNET.COM

After:

$ SUBMIT SYS$MANAGER:STARTNET.COM

IMPORTANT:

If you intend to run both DECnet Phase IV and a TCP product, DECnet must

start first. In this case, HP recommends starting DECnet using interactive mode.

For information about editing STARTUP-VMS.COM, see

Section 7.18 (page 161)

.

7.8.5 Configuring HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS

If you plan to run TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS software, note the following:

Configure your system for networking by executing the interactive command procedure
SYS$MANAGER:TCPIP$CONFIG.COM. Be sure to consult the HP TCP/IP Services for
OpenVMS Installation and Configuration
manual for specifics about configuring TCP/IP Services
for OpenVMS and for configuring IPv6 support.

After completing the configuration, edit the command pertaining to TCP/IP Services for
OpenVMS in SYS$COMMON:[SYSMGR]SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM (as instructed in
