Oracle Solaris: Setting TCP/IP options

Select from a range of TCP/IP options for the Tivoli® Storage Manager server or retain the default.

About this task

The following is an example of a list of TCP/IP options you can use to set up your system.

commmethod        tcpip
  tcpport         1500
  tcpwindowsize   0
  tcpnodelay      yes

Tip: You can use TCP/IP Version 4, Version 6, or both.

TCPPORT: The server TCP/IP port address. The default value is 1500.
TCPWINDOWSIZE: Specifies the size of the TCP/IP buffer that is used when sending or receiving data. The window size that is used in a session is the smaller of the server and client window sizes. Larger window sizes use additional memory but can improve performance.
You can specify an integer from 0 to 64. To use the default window size for the operating system, specify 0.
TCPNODELAY: Specifies whether or not the server sends small messages or lets TCP/IP buffer the messages. Sending small messages can improve throughput but increases the number of packets sent over the network. Specify YES to send small messages or NO to let TCP/IP buffer them. The default is YES.
TCPADMINPORT: Specifies the port number on which the server TCP/IP communication driver is to wait for requests other than client sessions. The default value is 1500.
SSLTCPPORT: (SSL-only) Specifies the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) port number on which the server TCP/IP communication driver waits for requests for SSL-enabled sessions for the command-line backup-archive client and the command-line administrative client.
SSLTCPADMINPORT: Specifies the port address on which the server TCP/IP communication driver waits for requests for SSL-enabled sessions for the command-line administrative client.
