This subsection assumes that you have already performed the following steps:
-
Installed the required software
-
Configured your TCP/IP network
-
Configured the appropriate OSI application endpoints for the hosts in your network. If you want to use RFC 1888 format to specify an IP address inside of an OSI NSAP address, see Defining an NSAP Address Which Contains an Embedded IP Address.
-
Generated the appropriate OSI endpoint initialization files for your network
The next step is to create a pairing between each application host's TCP/IP IP address and its OSI NSAP address. You must also create an OSI-TCP/IP address pair for each non-ClearPath MCP host in your network that will be running OSI applications. When configuring a destination host's OSI-TCP/IP address pair, a domain name can be substituted for the IP address.
You can create the pairing by issuing the appropriate ADD NETWORK ADDRESS PAIR commands through the OI.
Keep in mind that a host can have multiple NSAP addresses and/or multiple IP addresses—in this instance one application host would require multiple ADD NETWORK ADDRESS PAIR commands in the host's OSI initialization file—one OI command for each OSI-TCP/IP address pair mapping.
