Before you begin: You need to know what MAXSOCKETS value to use. The value used in the example might be different from the value that you want to use.

Perform the following steps to activate a multiple file system for the first time with Common INET (CINET).

1. Create a temporary BPXPRMtt member with the following statements:

   /* Start Address Family AF_INET for Common INET */
   FILESYSTYPE TYPE(CINET)  ENTRYPOINT(BPXTCINT)
   NETWORK TYPE(CINET)    MAXSOCKETS(64000)
        DOMAINNAME(AF_INET)   DOMAINNUMBER(2)
        INADDRANYPORT(5000)  INADDRANYCOUNT(100)
   /* Start nultiple TCP/IP stacks under Common INET */
   SUBFILESYSTYPE TYPE(CINET)  NAME(TCPIP)  ENTRYOINT(EZBPFINI) DEFAULT
   SUBFILESYSTYPE TIME(CINET)  NAME(TCPIP2) ENTRYPOINT(EZBPFINI)

   _______________________________________________________________

2. Dynamically add the statements to BPXPRMtt.

   SETOMVS RESET=(tt)

   _______________________________________________________________

3. Restart TCP/IP.

   S TCPIP
   S TCPIP2

   _______________________________________________________________

4. Add the statements in Step 1 to the BPXPRMxx member that is used on IPL.

   _______________________________________________________________

When you are done, you have activated a multiple sockets file system for the first time with Common INET.

Rule: The names used in the example, TCPIP and TCPIP2, must match those used when configuring the associated products.
