2  COMMUNICATION_CONTROLLER
   Adds new mapping correspondence to the internal TCP/IP Services
   table. Use this command to add support for new communication
   controller devices that are added to an OpenVMS system after the
   latest release of TCP/IP Services is installed.

   Format

     DEFINE COMMUNICATION_CONTROLLER  controller

                                      /INTERNET_INTERFACE=character

                                      /TYPE=options

3  Parameters
 

controller

   Required.

   Specifies the OpenVMS device name of the communication controller
   (as displayed by the DCL SHOW DEVICE command).

   You must specify the controller. For examples of controllers with
   their corresponding device names, see the LIST COMMUNICATION_
   CONTROLLER command. See the Compaq TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS
   Management guide for more information.
 

3  Qualifiers
 

/DESCRIPTION

      /DESCRIPTION=text

   Optional. Default: None.

   Specifies entry. For example, specify the device's name, such as
   DEFZA or DEUNA.

   You can modify this value.
 

/INTERNET_INTERFACE

      /INTERNET_INTERFACE=character

   Required.

   Specifies the first letter of the interface name. The second
   character of the two-character interface name is automatically
   assigned, depending on what you specify for the /TYPE qualifier.
   If you prefer a standard name, call your Compaq support
   representative. If a standard interface name is not important,
   you can use any unique alphabetic character for this first
   character.
 

/TYPE

      /TYPE=options

   Required.

   Specifies the controller type and implies the second character
   of the interface name. You must specify one of the following:
   Ethernet, FDDI, PPP, Serial or Token_Ring. You can specify only
   one type at a time. If you specify Ethernet, then the implied
   second character of the interface name is E. If you specify FDDI,
   then the implied second character of the interface name is F.
   If you specify PPP, then the implied second character of the
   interface name is P. If you specify Serial, then the implied
   second character of the interface name is L. If you specify
   Token_Ring, then the implied second character of the interface
   name is T.

   To change this definition, enter the following command:

    TCPIP>  DEFINE COMMUNICATION_CONTROLLER controller -
    _TCPIP  /TYPE=([NO]old_type,new_type)

   The old_type,new_type options are:

   o  CLUSTER

      -  The interface can join an internet cluster. To do this,
         also issue SET INTERFACE /CLUSTER.

      -  You can specify CLUSTER with a controller type, for
         example, /TYPE=(ETHERNET,CLUSTER).

   o  [NO]ETHERNET

   o  [NO]FDDI

   o  [NO]TOKEN_RING
 

3  Examples

   1.$ TCPIP DEFINE COMMUNICATION_CONTROLLER XE -
     _$ /INTERNET_INTERFACE=D /TYPE=(ETHERNET,CLUSTER) -
     _$ /DESCRIPTION=DEUNA

     Defines interface D as the OpenVMS device XE.
