Define the OptiConnect TCP/IP interface
Use the Add TCP/IP Interface (ADDTCPIFC) command to define a new interface
to the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) configuration.
The interfaces defined by the ADDTCPIFC command are logical interfaces.
Required parameters
- INTNETADR: Specifies an internet address that the local system responds
to on this interface. An interface associates with a line description. The
internet address is specified in the form nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn, where nnn is a
decimal number ranging form 0 through 255. An internet address is not valid
if it has all binary ones, or all zeros for the network identifier (ID) portion
of the address. If you enter the internet address from a command line, enclose
the address in apostrophes.
- LIND: The commands Add TCP/IP Interface (ADDTCPIFC) and Change TCP/IP
Interface (CHGTCPIFC) have changed to allow a new special value of *OPC for
the Line Description (LIND) parameter. This special value will be used to
connect this TCP/IP interface with the OptiConnect transport layer.
- SUBNETMASK: Specifies the subnet mask, which is a bit mask that defines
which portion of the internet address is treated as the (sub)network address
and which portion is treated as a host address, on the given subnet.
Optional parameter
- LCLIFC: The local IP interface is an optional parameter with which the
internet address, previously defined in INTNETADR, will be associated. Defining
an interface with an associated local IP address means that the associated
local IP address will be used as the source IP address in packets originating
from the interface. If no associated local IP address is specified, the source
IP address on outbound packets will merely be the INTNETADR IP address of
the interface. Any local LAN (token ring, ethernet, or FDDI) or *VIRTUALIP
interface may be used for LCLIFC.
