Example 1 Binding LISTNER to an IPv4 Address
PARAM LISTNER^HOST^IP 192.168.10.10
LISTNER^HOST^IP also accepts IPv6 addresses. For example:
Example 2 Binding LISTNER to an IPv6 Address
PARAM LISTNER^HOST^IP 3ffe:1200:214:1:a00:8eff:fe04:6ef2
Addressing Remote Hosts
You can address a remote host by specifying either a host internet address or a host name. Ask
the person administering your network for the internet address or name of the host system you want
to use.
Using the Domain Name Server (DNS) and IPNODES and HOSTS files
For details about domain name resolution, including the various DEFINEs and PARAMs associated
with it, see the TCP/IP Programming Manual.
Host Internet Address (IPv4)
NonStop TCP/IP, Parallel Library TCP/IP, NonStop TCP/IPv6, and CIP allow you to specify an
IPv4 host address.
A host can have one or more IPv4 addresses on each network to which it is attached. There are
three classes of host IPv4 address:
In class A, the first number is the network address, and the
rest of the numbers are the local host address. Class A
In class B, the first two numbers are the network address,
and the rest of the numbers are the local host address. Class B
In class C, the first three numbers are the network address,
and the rest of the numbers are the local host address. Class C
You can also use hexadecimal notation by preceding the hexadecimal digits with 0X or 0x; for
example, 0x4f.0x3.0x8.0x16.
Sometimes an IPV4 address is represented externally as two numbers separated by a period: the
first number is the network address and the second is the local address; for example, 130.4541.
For examples of various network configurations and detailed information about host internet
addresses, see the TCP/IP Configuration and Management Manual or the TCP/IP (Parallel Library)
Configuration and Management Manual.
Host Internet Address (IPv6)
NonStop TCP/IPv6 and CIP allow you to specify an IPv6 host address. There are no classes of
IPv6 address.
An IPv6 address contains 128-bits. You represent such an IP address by using a text string in the
following format:
x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x
where x is the hexadecimal value of a 16-bit section of the address. Each of these sections is
separated from the others by colons. For example:
FEDC:BA98:7654:3210:FEDC:BA98:7654:3210
If any 16-bit section contains leading zeros, those zeros need not be entered. For example:
1070:0000:0000:0000:0000:0800:200C:417B
