Initiates an XID test between the node specified and the node
indicated by the address or client argument.
test [node node-id] mop circuit circuit-name -
address lan-address [,optional argument...]
The Address information is required. If Address is not specified
in the command, then a Client must be specified which can supply
the address information.
test [node node-id] mop circuit circuit-name -
client client-name [,optional argument...]
The optional arguments for the test command are: count, format,
length, and sap.
Examples:
test mop circuit csmacd-1 address 08-00-2b-45-77-ED
test mop circuit csmacd-1 -
client lamchp ! Client gives default Address
The test requester function must be enabled on the MOP Circuit
to perform the test operation. You may enable this function
using:
enable mop circuit circuit-name function {test requester}
1 – SAP
The optional SAP argument specifies the Service Access Point on
the target system to which the XID message is to be sent. SAP is
an octet (00-FF). The default SAP is 00.
test [node node-id] mop circuit circuit-name -
address lan-address, -
sap octet [,optional arguments...]
If an Address is not supplied in the command on a LAN circuit,
then the Client argument must be specified so the address
information can be obtained from the MOP Client database.
test [node node-id] mop circuit circuit-name -
client client-name, -
sap octet [,optional arguments...]
Examples:
test mop circuit csmacd-1 address 08-00-2b-00-13-4F, sap ff
test mop circuit fddi-1 client mynode, sap 55
2 – address
test [node node-id] mop circuit circuit-name -
address lan-address [,optional argument...]
The Address information is required. If Address is not specified
in the command, then a Client must be specified which can supply
the address information.
3 – client
test [node node-id] mop circuit circuit-name -
client client-name [,optional argument...]
Address information is required. If Address is not specified
in the command, then the specified Client must supply the address
information.
4 – count
The optional Count argument is an integer between 0-4294967295
which specifies the number of messages to be tested. The default
count is 1.
test [node node-id] mop circuit circuit-name -
address lan-address, -
count integer [,optional arguments...]
If an Address is not supplied in the command on a LAN circuit,
then the Client argument must be specified so the address
information can be obtained from the MOP Client database.
test [node node-id] mop circuit circuit-name -
client client-name, -
count integer [,optional arguments...]
Examples:
test mop circuit csmacd-1 address 08-00-2b-00-13-4F, count 50
test mop circuit fddi-1 client mynode, count 10
5 – format
The optional Format argument is an octet (00-FF) which specifies
the value of each byte in the test data. The default results in
alternating 0 and 1 bits (55).
test [node node-id] mop circuit circuit-name -
address lan-address, -
format octet [,optional arguments...]
If an Address is not supplied in the command on a LAN circuit,
then the Client argument must be specified so the address
information can be obtained from the MOP Client database.
test [node node-id] mop circuit circuit-name -
client client-name, -
format octet [,optional arguments...]
Examples:
test mop circuit csmacd-1 address 08-00-2b-00-13-4F, format FF
test mop circuit fddi-1 client mynode, format 00
6 – length
The optional Length argument specifies the length of the test
data part of each message. The maximum and minimum permitted
values depend on the particular data link in use. The range is
0-4294967295. The default length is 40.
test [node node-id] mop circuit circuit-name -
address lan-address, -
length integer [,optional arguments...]
If an Address is not supplied in the command on a LAN circuit,
then the Client argument must be specified so the address
information can be obtained from the MOP Client database.
test [node node-id] mop circuit circuit-name -
client client-name, -
length integer [,optional arguments...]
Examples:
test mop circuit csmacd-1 address 08-00-2b-00-13-4F, length 20
test mop circuit fddi-1 client mynode, length 45
7 – Exception Messages
o data link error
An error was reported by the Data Link layer. Ascertain that
the query requester function is enabled on the MOP circuit.
o unrecognized client
There is no client with the specified identification.
o unrecognized circuit
There is no circuit with the specified identification.
o entity class not supported (OpenVMS)
MOP is not registered with EMAA. The NET$MOP process is
probably not started. For instructions on how to restart
the MOP process, refer to HELP NETWORK_MANAGEMENT MOP.
o timeout
Operation has timed out.
