Ei*0_Inet_Init Or Ew*0_Inet_Init - Compaq ES40CSLP Installation, User & Service Manual

Operation

3.5.4 ei*0_inet_init or ew*0_inet_init

The ei*0_inet_init or ew*0_inet_init environment variable determines whether the interface's
internal Internet database is initialized from nvram or from a network server (through the bootp
protocol). Legal values are nvram and bootp. The default value is bootp. Set this environment
variable if you are booting Tru64 UNIX from a RIS server.
To list the network devices on your system, enter the show device command. The Ethernet
controllers start with the letters "ei" or "ew," for example, ewa0. The third letter is the adapter
ID for the specific Ethernet controller. Replace the asterisk (*) with the adapter ID letter when
entering the command.
The syntax is:
set ei*0_inet_init value or
set ew*0_inet_init value
Example:
P00>>> set ewa0_inet_init bootp
3.5.5 ei*0_protocols or ew*0_protocols
The ei*0_protocols or ew*0_protocols environment variable sets network protocols for
booting and other functions.
To list the network devices on your system, enter the show device command. The Ethernet
controllers start with the letters "ei" or "ew," for example, ewa0. The third letter is the adapter
ID for the specific Ethernet controller. Replace the asterisk (*) with the adapter ID letter when
entering the command.
The syntax is:
set ei*0_protocols protocol_value or
set ew*0_protocols protocol_value
The options for protocol_value are:
mop (default)

3–20 Compaq ES40CSLP Rackmount System Installation/User/Service Guide
Sets the network protocol to mop (Maintenance Operations Protocol), the
setting typically used with the OpenVMS operating system.
Sets the network protocol to bootp, the setting typically used with the Tru64
UNIX operating system.
When both are listed, the system attempts to use the mop protocol first,
regardless of which is listed first. If not successful, it then attempts the bootp
protocol.
