slow Telnet connection

[Deepak kumar_3]

Hi,

To connect Remote VMS box via Telnet is
taking lot of time to ask username &
password. But once its conected i
can work with normal speed.

Any paramenter setting is required ??

May be that
- the disk on which the SYSUAF... files are located is very busy?
- perhaps an external authenticator is used which is busy?

Deepak,

Apart from what Karl has already mentioned, is it
likely that the remote system name involves a DNS
search? Exactly what command are you typing in?
Is the name (assuming you are using a name) of the
destination machine in the local hosts database or
is there some other box involved in translating
the name into an IP address?

Regards
Dave

Both Karl and David may be right!
Deepak,
when connection takes time, can you see username prompt?
If yes, then trouble is inside your vms box (e.g. sysuaf very busy).
If no, the trouble is outside vms box like dns slow or wrong routing .

Deepak,

Another DNS problem can be the back translation of the remote IP address. When loged in try this command:

$ TCPIP SHOW HOST /ADDRESS=xx.xx.xx.xx

Where xx.xx.xx.xx is the ip address of the remote node from which you are connecting VMS by telnet.

what version of VMS and what tcpip software is the remote vms box running?

The most likely reasons have already been covered
1. a resource problem on the vms box
2. a problem which affects the dns lookup of the IP address of the incoming telnet connection (by default TCPIP Services for OpenVMS will lookup the address so the host name of the incoming connection can be reported).

A place to verifying if the problem is in the VMS box it would be to realize a connection to him and to monitor the system ($MON SYS). Later to try a second connection and to verify if workloads take place.
In this case the problem would be in the box, in opposite case one might owe the comunicaciones.
