Ending the OptiConnect IP interface
To end a TCP/IP interface for OptiConnect, use the End TCP/IP Interface (ENDTCPIFC) command.
When you use the ENDTCPIFC command, datagrams addressed to the IP addresses that are associated with this interface are no longer accepted. You can use the ENDTCPIFC command to end an interface that you previously started with the Start TCP/IP Interface (STRTCPIFC) or Start TCP/IP (STRTCP) command.
Notes:
- You can start and end regular and associated interfaces independently from starting and ending OptiConnect (when OptiConnect is ended, the interface is inoperative).
- After you start the interface with the STRTCPIFC command, the interface status shows Active if OptiConnect is up, but only Starting if OptiConnect is down.
- If the interface was active at one point and the OptiConnect subsystem has been ended, the interface status shows RCYPND for recovery pending. After OptiConnect is started, the interface status automatically goes back to Active.
- The status of an associated interface shows Starting even if OptiConnect is up. In order for the associated interface to be completely active, the other interface must also be started with OptiConnect up.
