  • Page 90: Iface

    iface iface is a synonym for the interface command. interface interface informs Sockets of the hardware or software communications interface(s) to be used at the network interface level. At least one network interface is required, and two or more are used in gateway (router) applications.
  • Page 91 class class specifies how IP datagrams are to be encapsulated in the link level protocol of the interface. Some interfaces offer a choice between classes while others use a fixed class. The following classes are available and are listed with their associated types. Type Class Token...
  • Page 92 buflim buflim specifies the maximum number of outgoing datagrams or packets to queue before starting to discard datagrams. This mechanism is used to prevent the memory from filling up when a serial link goes down. bufsize bufsize specifies the size of the ring buffer in bytes to be allocated to the receiver in raw mode. intvec intvec specifies the software interrupt number (vector) in hexadecimal to use for resident packet drivers.
  • Page 93 ip displays or sets the values of the options selected when defining the IP (internet protocol) host address of the next interface to be defined. Syntax ip address [hostid [/net_bits] ] ip status ip ttl [number] ip address sets the IP host address of the next interface to be defined. A route is automatically added to each interface for the default or specified net mask for its address.
  • Page 94: Param

    If you want to subdivide your network, you can divide it by two for every net bit added. The following table provides information on converting between net bits and net mask. The number of net bits to add when changing a 0 in the net mask to: Net Bits number When number is omitted, ip ttl displays the current value of the time to live parameter.
  • Page 95 state. If an up-time has never been specified or a value of 0 is specified, the interface will stay in the up state whether valid input is received or not. An interface enters the up state by a Sockets command or when valid input is received on that interface when in the down or query states.
  • Page 96: Route

    route route creates an entry in the IP routing table for Sockets to determine where to send data. The Alternative Routing mechanism allows more than one route to be specified to a particular host or network. Failure of one route causes an automatic switch to the next route. Refer also to the ip address command for specifying the net mask, because a route is automatically added to each interface for the default or specified net mask for that address.
  • Page 97 ifname ifname defines the name used in the interface command for the immediate network on which the data for the designated host must be sent. This is the network level interface to be used by the local host to reach the remote host. gateid gateid parameter specifies the IP address of a host, on the same physical network as the local host, which is used as a gateway or router to a different network.
  • Page 98: Tcp

    tcp commands display or set various TCP operating parameters. The TCP configuration commands are put into SOCKET.CFG.
