TCP/IP / Process Info

 

 

The TCP/IP / Process Info screen presents the TCP/IP processes or protocol stacks running on the System.

 

The TCP/IP process is the IOP (Input/Output Process) responsible for handling the TCP/IP traffic for a communication interface.

 

S-Series systems always have two TCP/IP processes used in support of the system console.  These are $ZTCP0 and $ZTCP1.  Most systems have a $ZTC0 TCP/IP process running, which is the default selection for socket programs.

 

At a TACL prompt, the default TCP/IP process is changed by using a DEFINE.  Below is an example which sets the default process to $ZSAM1 and then starts an FTP:

 

1> ADD DEFINE =TCPIP^PROCESS^NAME, FILE $ZSAM1
