1 /ARP
/ARP /NOARP Optional. Default: /ARP. Enables IP address-to-hardware address (Ethernet or FDDI) mapping. /ARP is valid when you create an interface but not when you modify an existing interface.
2 /AUTO_START
/AUTO_START /NOAUTO_START Optional. Default: /AUTO_START. Valid for a SLIP or PPP interface. Automatically creates the interface when TCP/IP Services starts.
3 /BROADCAST_MASK
/BROADCAST_MASK=IP_address Optional. Sets the Internet interface to receive all broadcast messages. TCP/IP Services calculates the default by the following methods: o Using the network number o Setting all bits in the host number field to 1
4 /C_BROADCAST_MASK
/C_BROADCAST_MASK=IP_address Optional. Sets the cluster broadcast mask to receive all broadcast messages. The software calculates the default by the following methods: o Using the network number o Setting all bits in the host number field to 1
5 /C_NETWORK
/C_NETWORK=IP_address Optional. Sets the network mask of the cluster network. This mask is specific to the cluster host network. The software calculates the default by using the following methods: o Setting the bits representing the network fields to 1 o Setting the bits representing the host field to 0
6 /CLUSTER
/CLUSTER=host /NOCLUSTER Optional. Default: None. Specifies the cluster host name (alias host identifier). Before using this qualifier, first define the same name in the hosts database. /CLUSTER=host associates the alias host identifier with each interface in a cluster. /NOCLUSTER disables Internet cluster processing on the specified interface. CAUTION When you specify /NOCLUSTER, active communication is aborted for applications bound to the cluster alias name.
7 /COMPRESS
/COMPRESS= {ON | OFF | AUTOMATIC} Optional. Defaults: For PPP interface, /COMPRESS=ON; for SLIP interface, /COMPRESS=OFF. Valid for SLIP and PPP interfaces. Enables or disables TCP header compression. /COMPRESS=AUTOMATIC turns off compression unless the remote end begins to use it.
8 /DESTINATION
/DESTINATION=IP_address Optional. Valid for a PPP interface. Used on the local host to provide dialup access to remote systems. The value specified is the IP address to be given to remote clients for use while the PPP connection is active. If using /DESTINATION, you must provide the address of the local host by using the /HOST qualifier.
9 /DHCP
/DHCP /NODHCP Optional. Designates the interface as a DHCP-controlled interface in the permanent database.
10 /FLOWCONTROL
Optional. Default: No flow control. Valid for a SLIP interface. Enables the handling of XON and XOFF characters to interoperate properly with modems that are configured to interpret these characters locally. Specify /FLOWCONTROL only if the host at the other end of the line is running TCP/IP Services.
11 /HOST
/HOST=host Required when first setting the interface; optional if the interface is already defined. Always required for a SLIP interface. Optional for a PPP interface unless you are setting up the local host as a dialup provider by using the /DESTINATION qualifier. Local host name or IP address using the interface. If not specified for a PPP interface, PPP obtains the correct address from the remote host. If your host is multihomed, specify an address.
12 /LOOPBACK
/LOOPBACK /NOLOOPBACK Optional. Default: /NOLOOPBACK. Sets loopback mode.
13 /NETWORK_MASK
/NETWORK_MASK=IP_address Required if you use subnets. The part of the host field of the IP address identified as the subnet. The software calculates the default by the following methods: o Setting the bits representing the network fields to 1 o Setting the bits representing the host field to 0 An IP address consists of a network number and a host number. You can also divide the host field into a site-specific subnetwork and host field.
14 /PRIMARY
/PRIMARY /NOPRIMARY Optional. For DHCP-controlled interfaces, designates the interface from which system-wide configuration options (such as the IP address of the BIND server) are used.
15 /SERIAL_DEVICE
/SERIAL_DEVICE=device Required for SLIP and PPP interfaces; otherwise, not used. Identifies the OpenVMS terminal device used as a serial device. Specify an arbitrary terminal device name. (Unlike Ethernet, FDDI, and Token Ring interface names, a serial interface name is not related to the OpenVMS device name.)
