IP Address change on and Alpha running openvms

[PatrickO_1]

I need to change an ip address on my alpha. I saw in earlier threads that I should look for @tcpware:cnfnet or @SYS$MANAGER:TCPIP$CONFIG. I don't have either of those. Is there another way to change the ip address.

Which TCP/IP software are you using on your system? To look for what TCP/IP software your using look for logical names with TCP in them, command files in SYS$STARTUP with tcp in the name or look in SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM to see which TCP/IP software is being started. Each vendor uses different methods to access the TCP/IP configuration. This is highly dependent on what softare your actually using.

Patrick,

It would sure help if you told us what TCPIP suite you are using.

Thanks...

Hi,
what version of vms and tcpip do you have?
Another way is (for earliest versions):
- locate yout network adapter
- shutdown TCPIP (from console)
- tcpip set nointerface your_net_adapter
- tcpip set nohost your_hostname
- tcpip set interface your_net_adapter /host=new_IP /network_mast=...
- tcpip set host your_hostname/addres=new_IP
- your OpenVMS was still running

... pls compare these commands with tcpip help

I forgot:
- after stopping TCPIP you must to use TCPIP SET CONFIGURATION ... (in all commands) for exam. "tcpip set conf nointerface"
