CL Command Reference - ENDTCPIFC

CL Command List > ENDTCPIFC Reference

Description:

The End TCP/IP Interface (ENDTCPIFC) command is used to end a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) interface. When an interface is ended with this command, datagrams addressed to the IP addresses associated with this interface will no longer be accepted. However, the operation of any other TCP/IP or IP over SNA interface that is using the same line description as the the interface being ended is not affected.

This command can be used to end an interface that was previously started by the Start TCP/IP Interface (STRTCPIFC) or Start TCP (STRTCP) command.

Use this command to end all TCP/IP interfaces prior to ending TCP/IP. Also, use this command to end all TCP/IP interfaces prior to varying off a device, controller, or line associated with TCP/IP. Failure to do so may cause unpredictable results.

Notes on Route to Interface Binding

Interfaces define direct routes to networks or subnetworks that this system is directly attached to. Routes define the indirect routes. An indirect route defines the next hop on the path to a network or subnetwork that this system is not directly attached to.

Indirect routes are bound to interfaces using a best match first algorithm. This algorithm is based on the state of the interface and on the type of service (TOS) specified for the route and interface. When ending an interface, the routes associated with the interface can move to another existing active interface. This provides the widest available level of connectivity.


Examples:

Example 1: Ending an X.25 Interface

ENDTCPIFC INTNETADR(กฏ9.5.11.125กฏ)

This command causes the TCP/IP protocol stack to deactivate (end) the interface associated with the internet address 9.5.11.125.



Example 2: Ending a Token-Ring Interface

ENDTCPIFC INTNETADR(กฏ156.93.81.7กฏ)

This command causes the TCP/IP protocol stack to deactivate (end) the interface associated with the internet address 156.93.81.7.



Example 3: Ending a Token-Ring Interface using an Alias Name

ENDTPCIFC ALIASNAME(TEST_NETWORK)

This command causes the TCP/IP protocol stack to deactivate (end) the interface associated with the alias name TEST_NETWORK.
