How to change default Node?

lunew — Mon, 17 Oct 2005 23:35:25 GMT

OpenVMS7.3-1 TCPIP 5.3, The node has two interfaces EE0(100B-T) and WE0(1000Base-X)
I have configured both NIs via @sys$startup:tcpip$config with following datas:
EE0: 10.10.10.2/255.255.255.0, Node1
WE0:172.168.1.10/255.255.255.0, Node2
$> sho net
Product: TCP/IP Node: Node1.com Address(es): 10.10.10.2

But I want the WE0: be the default with the “$>show network”. So I disabled the EE0: with TCPIP>Set Nointerface EE0
After reboot the Server ,
$> sho net
Product: TCP/IP Node:

How to display the WE0: with “$>show network ” ?

The networks to be display with SHOW NETWORK are defined calling SYS$NET_SERVICES.COM during boot, which calles all SYS$STARTUP:SYS$NET_SERVICES_*.COM.

There should be one for DECNET and one for TCPIP. The TCPIP thing registers a network using TCPIP$INET_HOSTADDR logical name.

That said, I do not know how to register a 2nd interface :-(

See HELP SET NETWORK. The command defines network services. This includes commands to STOP, START & display information about the network.

See SHOW LOGICAL SYS$NET*, and/or SYS$STARTUP:SYS$NET_SERVICES_*.COM to see how the existing networks are defined. You can either modify the TCP/IP entry or add your own, specifying whichever interface(s) or commands you want.

Lunew,

the TCPIP node name and address are obtained from the TCPIP configuration and stored in the TCPIP$INET* logicals during TCPIP startup.

During TCPIP configuration, the first interface defined sets up the host configuration (see TCPIP SHOW CONF COMM). You can change this information manually with:

$ TCPIP SET CONFIG COMM/LOCAL_HOST=Node2

Hi,

for network config it's handy to use in Sys$manager NETCONFIG.COM, TCPIP$CONFIG.COM , (UCX$CONFIG for older TCPIP).

Volker,
I already tried the way,but things as following

$ tcpip set CONFIG COMM/LOCAL_HOST=Node2
%TCPIP-E-CONFIGERROR, error processing configuration request
-TCPIP-E-INVQUAL, invalid qualifier value for /LOCAL_HOST
-RMS-E-RNF, record not found

Lunew,

make sure node2 is defined in your local host database:

$ TCPIP SHOW HOST node2

If not, add it with

$ TCPIP SET HOST NODE2/ADDR=172.168.1.10
