=title Node 

  The Node module has one entity, the global node entity, which crowns the 
  hierarchy represented in the entity model described by the Digital Network 
  Architecture. All other entities are subordinate to the Node entity. When 
  enabled, each node is visible to all other nodes on the network. Access to 
  a node's entities must be made through the node.

  The following shows the hierarchical relationship of the Node global entity 
  to all of the other local entities.

  The node entity is the only entity in the Node module.  



2  character
=title Characteristic Attributes

    IMPLEMENTATION

        Particular DECnet implementation of the node. You cannot modify this 
        characteristic.


    VERSION

        Version number of the network management architecture specification to 
        which the implementation conforms.  You cannot modify this 
        characteristic.


    MAXIMUM LISTENERS ( OSF/1 only)
    
         Maximum number of CMIP listeners that the node supports.  Zero 
         specifies an unlimited number of listeners.  You cannot modify this 
         characteristic.  The characteristic has no meaning on OPEN VMS
         
    LISTENER_TEMPLATE ( OSF/1 only)

         Name of the OSI transport template to be passed through the CMIP 
         listener to session control.  You cannot modify this characteristic.
             

    SECONDARY NAMES
         
         Lists the set of secondary fullnames the node might have due to more 
         than one nameservice.

2  counters
=title Counter Attributes

    CHANGES OF ADDRESS 

        Number of times the node's address has changed. 


    CHANGES OF ID 

        Number of times the node's ID has changed.


    IDROM CHECK FAILURES 

        Number of times an IDROM was checked for consistency and was found to 
        be in error. 
             

    RENAMES 

        Number of times the node has been renamed.  See the rename command. 

            

2  status
=title Status Attributes

    FUNCTIONS ENABLED 

        Functions that are currently enabled for the node.  See the enable 
        command. 
            

    ID

        Indicates the unique 48-bit ID of the node.


    STATE

        State of the node. 

        BOOTING - The node is attempting to downline load. You cannot manage 
                  the node in this state. If the boot process is successful, 
                  the node enters the off state. This function is only 
                  supported on OpenVMS.

        DEAD -    The node is unusable and unmanageable as the result of a 
                  power failure or similar event. The node must be rebooted. 
                  This function is only supported on OpenVMS.

        OFF -     The node is manageable, but not all of its functions are 
                  enabled.

        ON -      All of the node's functions are enabled, and the node is 
                  fully manageable. The on state is the normal operating state.
