Chapter 1 Introduction to the Internet Services
The HP 3000 Internet Services consist of a set of programs that help the
HP 3000 computer exchange information with other nodes on the internet.
The Internet Services offered on the HP 3000 are a subset of the Internet
Services available on the HP 9000, which was previously called the ARPA
Services. This introductory chapter:
* provides an overview of the Internet Services
* lists the system requirements for using Internet Services
* shows you, as system manager, how to verify the installation of
the set of configuration and program files for Internet Services
that were delivered with version C.55.00 of the MPE/iX Fundamental
Operating Software.
* lists the configuration files that you are responsible for
* describes two of these configuration files that all of the
Internet Services use, the protocols file and the services file,
and how to install and edit them.
At the end of this introductory chapter, there is a list of additional
manuals that may be helpful.
By and large, the subset of Internet Services running on an MPE/iX system
are identical to those available on UNIX machines. There are, however,
some differences between them. If you are an experienced HP-UX system
administrator and you plan to skim the information in this manual, pay
attention to the "Implementation differences" sections at the end of each
chapter. They describe the important differences between MPE/iX version
of Internet Services and the HP-UX version of Internet Services.
