Initializing the TCP/IP network for ClearPath MCP servers means starting (or restarting) the following software on each enterprise server in the network:
-
Core Network Services (CNS)
-
Heritage Network Services (BNAv2), if installed
-
TCP/IP
-
SNMP, if installed
When TCP/IP is initialized on the enterprise server, the host automatically reads the initialization files, which contain the networking commands that define how the host operates in the network.
During initialization, the library determines which configuration is present and runs in v3 or v2 mode. When the configuration contains NP units, TCP/IP runs in v3 mode. In MCP 20.0, NNS based configurations are no longer supported, and TCP/IP will operate in v3 mode only.
