Driver parameters

These parameters affect the behavior of several drivers with which the S-TAP interacts.

Attention: These are advanced parameters and should be modified only by IBM Technical Support.
Attention: If a parameter is available through both the GIM and the command line interface (CLI), then the GIM parameter, including any defaults, always overwrites any value that is available from WINSTAP_CMD_LINE.
GIM guard_tap.ini Default value Description Protocol version
WINSTAP_TCP_DRIVER_INSTALLED TCP_DRIVER_INSTALLED 1 S-TAP uses a TCP driver. Valid values:
  • 0: no
  • 1: yes
Remember: For Protocol 8 only: Dynamic parameter. When you modify the value in the guard_tap.ini, the S-TAP does not need restarting for the updated values to take effect.
