1 SET 2 ACP Modifies the operation of the LANACP LAN Server process. Requires SYSPRV privilege. Format SET ACP 3 Parameters None. 3 Qualifiers /ECHO /ECHO /NOECHO (default) Enables partial tracing of received and transmitted downline load messages (the first 32 bytes of the data portion of each message). Note that the last one or two MOP messages are displayed in full: the memory load message with cluster parameters, and the parameter load with transfer address message, where present in the load. The data is written to a log file SYS$MANAGER:LAN$node-name.LOG. To obtain the entire contents of each message, use the /FULL qualifier as follows: SET ACP/ECHO/FULL /FULL /FULL /NOFULL (default) When /ECHO is enabled, displays the entire contents of received and transmitted downline load messages. /OPCOM /OPCOM (default) /NOOPCOM Enables OPCOM messages from LANACP LAN Server process. Messages are generated by the LANACP LAN Server process when a device status changes, load requests are received, and loads complete. These messages are displayed on the operator's console and included in the log file written by LANACP, SYS$MANAGER:LAN$ACP.LOG. /STOP Stops the LANACP process. It can be restarted by reexecuting the SYS$STARTUP:LAN$STARTUP command file. 3 Example LANCP> SET ACP/ECHO/FULL This command enables tracing of received and transmitted downline load messages. The /FULL qualifier displays the entire contents of received and transmitted downline load messages. 2 DEVICE Sets or modifies LAN device parameters. Requires PHY_IO privilege. Format SET DEVICE device-name 3 Parameter device-name Specifies a device to be entered in the LAN volatile device database, or whose parameters are to be modified. The device name has the form ddcu where dd is the device code, c is the controller designation, and u is the unit number. LAN devices are specified as the name of the template device which is unit 0. For example, the first DE435 Ethernet device is specified as EWA0, the second as EWB0. 3 Qualifiers_(General) /ALL Sets data for all LAN devices. If you specify a device name, all matching LAN devices are selected, for example: E to select all Ethernet devices, F for FDDI, I for Token Ring, EW to select all Ethernet PCI Tulip devices. /DEVICE_SPECIFIC /DEVICE_SPECIFIC=(FUNCTION="xxxx",VALUE=(n1,n2,n3...n16)) /NODEVICE_SPECIFIC Allows some device-specific parameters to be adjusted. These are useful for debug purposes or for experiments while doing performance measurements. Like other LANCP commands which affect devices, this command requires SYSPRV privilege. Specify the negated qualifer to clear all device-specific parameter data. These functions are described in a text file on the system, SYS$HELP:LAN_COUNTERS_AND_FUNCTIONS.TXT. /DLL /DLL or MOPDLL=(enable-option, exclusive-option, size-option, knownclientsonly-option) Provides the MOP downline load service settings for the device. Note that defaults apply to creation of an entry in the device database. If an existing entry is being modified, fields not specified remain unchanged. You can specify the following keywords with this qualifier: o enable-option ENABLE DISABLE (default) Specify ENABLE or DISABLE to indicate that MOP downline load service should be enabled or disabled for the device. o exclusive-option EXCLUSIVE NOEXCLUSIVE (default) Specify EXCLUSIVE to indicate that no other provider of MOP downline load service is allowed on the specified LAN device at the same time as LANACP. Specify NOEXCLUSIVE to indicate that the LAN MOP downline load service can coexist with other implementations (in particular, the DECnet Phase IV and DECnet Plus implementations that include MOP support). Note that when you select NOEXCLUSIVE, LANACP responds only to MOP downline load requests directed to nodes defined in the LAN node database. o size-option SIZE=value Use SIZE=value to specify the size in bytes of the file data portion of each downline load message. The permitted range is 246 to 1482 bytes. The default value is 246 bytes, which should allow any client to load properly. Note that some clients may not support the larger size. The recommended size for better load performance and less server overhead is the largest size that results in successful loads of all clients. The 1482 value is derived from the maximum packet size for CSMA/CD (Ethernet) of 1518 bytes less the 802e header and CRC (26 bytes) and MOP protocol overhead (10 bytes). You can override the size on a per-node basis. See the SET NODE commands for details. o knownclientsonly-option KNOWNCLIENTSONLY NOKNOWNCLIENTSONLY (default) Specify KNOWNCLIENTSONLY to indicate that MOP downline load requests should be serviced only for clients defined in the LAN permanent node database. When you select NOKNOWNCLIENTSONLY, LANACP searches the LAN$DLL directory for any images requested by clients that are not defined in the LAN node database. Note that this option is not available when NOEXCLUSIVE mode has been selected. In NOEXCLUSIVE mode, LANACP services MOP downline load requests only for clients defined in the LAN node database. /MAX_BUFFERS /MAX_BUFFERS=value Sets the maximum number of receive buffers to be allocated and used by the LAN driver for the LAN device. /MIN_BUFFERS /MIN_BUFFERS=value Sets the minimum number of receive buffers to be allocated and used by the LAN driver for the LAN device. /PERMANENT /PERMANENT (SET DEVICE only) Updates the device entries in the LAN volatile device database with any data currently set in the permanent database. This allows you to update the volatile database after changing data in the permanent database, rather than repeating the commands for each updated entry to apply the changes to the volatile database. /TAG /TAG=value Specifies the IEEE 802.1Q tag for the VLAN device. value is the IEEE 802.IQ tag number. /TRACE /TRACE=size-option, mask-option, stop-option /NOTRACE Provides the LAN driver trace settings for the device. By default, most LAN drivers do tracing of error conditions and state changes. Tracing is controlled by an event mask that selects the events to trace, a stop mask that specifies when to stop tracing, and the size of the trace buffer. You can change tracing settings at any time. The LAN driver allocates the trace buffer from non-paged pool. You can calculate the amount of pool needed by multiplying the number of entries by the size of each entry, 32-bytes. The impact of tracing on the system is negligible for error and state change events, more significant when all events are selected, and very significant when full packet tracing is enabled. The command SHOW DEVICE/TRACE displays trace results as well as the trace mask. You can specify the following keywords with this qualifier: o size-option SIZE=value Use SIZE=value to specify the size of the trace buffer in entries, each 32 bytes. The default is 2048 entries. The permitted range is 256 to 1000000. The size MOD 3 encodes the amount of packet data to include, either 35 bytes, 66 bytes, 97 bytes, or the entire packet. o mask-option MASK=(value1,value2) Use MASK=(value1,value2) to specify the trace mask to select which type of entries should be collected in the trace buffer. The first 32 bits consist of events common to most LAN drivers. The second 32 bits consist of events specific to the LAN driver for the specified device. o stop-option STOP=(value1,value2) Use STOP=(value1,value2) to specify the trace mask to select which type of entries should stop tracing. When a trace entry is made that matches one of the bits in the stop mask, the trace mask is cleared so that you can look at the trace data accumulated so far. /UPDATE /UPDATE (DEFINE DEVICE only) Adds LAN devices that are not currently in the LAN permanent device database to that database. The initial entry for the device uses default values for all parameters. To update the permanent database with current information from the volatile database, use the DEFINE DEVICE command with the /VOLATILE qualifier. You can combine the /UPDATE and /VOLATILE qualifiers in a single DEFINE DEVICE command. /UPDATE /UPDATE (SET DEVICE only) Adds LAN devices that are not currently in the LAN volatile device database to that database. The initial entry for the device uses default values for all parameters. To update the volatile database with current information from the permanent database, use the SET DEVICE command with the /PERMANENT qualifier. You can combine the /UPDATE and /PERMANENT qualifiers in a single SET DEVICE command. /VLAN_DEVICE /VLAN_DEVICE=device-name /NOVLAN_DEVICE Specifies the physical LAN device that is to host the VLAN device. The /NOVLAN_DEVICE qualifier requests deactivation of the VLAN device. When deactivating the VLAN device, the device-name is not required because the VLAN driver knows which device is hosting the VLAN device. Note that a VLAN device cannot be deactivated if any applications continue to use the device. /VOLATILE /VOLATILE (DEFINE DEVICE only) Updates the device entries in the LAN permanent device database with any data currently set in the volatile database. This allows you to update the permanent database after changing data in the volatile database, rather than repeating the commands for each updated entry to apply the changes to the permanent database. 3 Qualifiers_(Ethernet_Devices) /AUTONEGOTIATE /AUTONEGOTIATE (default) /NOAUTONEGOTIATE Enables or disables the use of auto-negotiation to determine the link settings. You may need to disable link auto-negotiation when connected to a switch or device that does support auto negotiation. /FLOW_CONTROL /FLOW_CONTROL (default) /NOFLOW_CONTROL Enables flow control on a LAN device. /FULL_DUPLEX /FULL_DUPLEX /NOFULL_DUPLEX (default) Enables full-duplex operation of a LAN device. Before full-duplex operation results from the use of this qualifier, additional device or network hardware setup may be required. Some devices may be enabled for full-duplex operation by default. Some devices may not allow the setting to be changed. The /NOFULL_DUPLEX qualifier disables full-duplex operation. /JUMBO /JUMBO /NOJUMBO (default) Enables the use of jumbo frames on a LAN device. Only Gigabit Ethernet NICs support jumbo frames. /MEDIA /MEDIA=value Selects the cable connection. Normally, the selection is made during device initialization using a limited autosensing algorithm that selects twisted pair, but fails over to AUI (Attachment Unit Interface) if twisted pair does not appear to be functional. Thereafter, a cabling change would require a reboot of the system to take effect. This command allows you to change the selection without rebooting. Acceptable values are AUI (10Base2, 10Base5), TWISTEDPAIR (10BaseT), and AUTOSENSE (reperform the limited autosense algorithm). The default value is AUTOSENSE. Some devices, such as the DE435, require a jumper change on the Ethernet card to switch between 10Base2 and 10Base5 (thinwire and thickwire). Other devices, such as the DE434, DE436, and DE500, have only twisted pair connections. /SPEED /SPEED=value Sets the speed of the LAN. Valid values are 10, 100, 1000, 10000, or autonegotiate; the last choice, autonegotiate, selects the 10 megabits per second for Ethernet, 100 for Fast Ethernet, 1000 for Gigabit Ethernet, and 10000 for 10-Gigabit Ethernet. If you select autonegotiate, the LAN driver redoes auto-negotiation. 3 Qualifiers_(LAN_Failover_Devices) /DISABLE Disables the devices in a LAN Failover set. When disabled, LAN devices can be added to or deleted from the Failover set. /ENABLE Enables a Failover set, which activates the Logical LAN device. The LAN Failover driver selects a LAN device from the LAN Failover set as the active device and then allows I/O to the Logical LAN device. /FAILOVER_SET /FAILOVER_SET=(device-name[,...]) /[NO]FAILOVER_SET=(device-name[,...]) Specifies the members of a LAN Failover set. /PRIORITY /PRIORITY=value Sets the Failover priority of a LAN device. Priority is given to the LAN Failover device with the highest priority when choosing the active LAN device. When a LAN device with a higher priority becomes available, a failover transition to the newly available device is performed. This allows a system manager to set a preferred device by setting one LAN device to a higher priority than others. The LAN Failover driver uses the preferred device when it is available. /SIZE /SIZE=value Sets the packet size of the LAN failover device. Valid values are STANDARD (the default) or JUMBO: o STANDARD is the Ethernet maximum packet size of 1518 bytes. o JUMBO is the oversize packet size available with Gigabit Ethernet devices. JUMBO is allowed only if all the LAN devices in the LAN Failover set are Gigabit devices. Note that the size specified for the LAN Failover device overrides the size set on the members of the LAN Failover set; that is, the JUMBO frame setting of a LAN device is of no consequence when the size is determined for the LAN Failover device. /SWITCH /SWITCH (SET DEVICE only) Forces a LAN failover to another member of the LAN Failover set. You can test LAN failover operation by using this command to switch from one device to another. 3 Qualifiers_(FDDI_Devices) /RING_PURGER Enables the ring purger process of the FDDI device. /TOKEN_ROTATION Sets the requested token rotation time for the FDDI ring. /TOKEN_TIMEOUT Sets the restricted token timeout time for the FDDI ring. /TRANSMIT_TIMEOUT Sets the valid transmission time for the FDDI device. 3 Qualifiers_(Token_Ring_Devices) /AGING_TIMER /AGING_TIMER=value Sets the amount of time in seconds to age Token Ring source routing cache entries before marking them stale. This timer expires when no traffic is sent to or received from the remote node in this amount of time. The default value is 60 seconds. Increase this value when idle connections bounce between the stale and known states. Setting this value too low may cause unnecessary explorer traffic to traverse the LAN. /CACHE_ENTRIES /CACHE_ENTRIES=value Sets the number of entries to reserve for caching Token Ring source routing address entries. The default value is 200 entries. If your system directly communicates to a large number of systems, you may want to increase this number. /CONTENDER /CONTENDER /NOCONTENDER (default) Specifies that the Token Ring device is to participate in the Monitor Contention process when it joins the ring. The /NOCONTENDER qualifier, directs the device not to challenge the current ring server. /DISCOVERY_TIMER /DISCOVERY_TIMER=value Sets the number of seconds to wait for a reply from a remote node when performing the source Token Ring routing route discovery process. The default value is 2 seconds. If you have nodes that respond slowly on your extended LAN, you may need to increase this number to reduce the amount of explorer traffic that traverses your LAN. /EARLY /EARLY (default) /NOEARLY Enables Early Token Release on the device. The /NOEARLY qualifier, disables Early Token Release. /MAP /MAP=(MULTICAST_ADDRESS=address, FUNCTIONAL_ADDRESS=address) /NOMAP=(MULTICAST_ADDRESS=address) Maps a standard multicast address to a functional address. Token ring devices do not support IEEE 802 standard globally defined group addresses. They do support functional addresses. A functional address is a locally administered group address that has 31 possible values. Each functional address sets one bit in the third through sixth byte of the address and bytes 1 and 2 are 03-00 (C0:00 in bit reversed format). The /NOMAP=(MULTICAST_ADDRESS=address) qualifier, clears the mapping established for the specified address. Specify the functional address as follows: o The MULTICAST_ADDRESS argument requires a standard 6-byte multicast address. o The FUNCTIONAL_ADDRESS argument requires only the last 4 bytes of the functional address (the preceding 03-00 bytes are automatically prefixed). o The address variable, given as hexadecimal byte characters separated by hyphens, specifies the canonical form of the address. Use a colon as the separator character to indicate the bit-reversed form of the address. For example, to map the multicast address CB-00-01-02-03-04 to the functional address 03-00-00-80-00-00 on the Token Ring device IRA0, enter the following command: SET DEVICE IRA0/MAP=(MULTI=CB-00-01-02-03-04,FUNCT=00:01:00:00) For the default address mapping, see the following table or issue the command SHOW DEVICE/MAP device-name.

Acceptable values for this are either unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP). The default value is STP. /SOURCE_ROUTING /SOURCE_ROUTING (default) /NOSOURCE_ROUTING Enables source routing on the Token Ring device. If you only have one ring in your LAN or you use transparent bridging, use the /NOSOURCE_ROUTING qualifier to turn off source routing. /SPEED /SPEED=value Sets the speed of the Token Ring LAN. Valid values are either 4 or 16, indicating 4 megabits per second or 16 megabits per second. The default value for Token Ring is 16, unless the LAN adapter supports a nonvolatile mechanism for setting this parameter. /SR_ENTRY /SR_ENTRY=(LAN_ADDRESS=address, RI=routing-information) /NOSR_ENTRY=(LAN_ADDRESS=address) Statically defines a specific source-routed route for a specific node. The default value is no routes specified. This caching remains valid while used or until the aging timer expires. Use this qualifier only as a last resort when isolating communication failures on extended LAN topologies. The /NOSR_ENTRY=(LAN_ADDRESS=address) qualifier, clears the previously defined static source routed route. The address is a standard 6-byte LAN address (given as hexadecimal byte characters separated by hyphens), which specifies the canonical form of the address. Using a colon as the separator character indicates the bit-reversed form of the address. The routing-information is the source routing field, specified as a series of two-byte hexadecimal characters (each byte separated by a hyphen). The field consists of a two-byte routing control field followed by up to 14 two-byte segment identifiers, each containing the ring number and the bridge number used in the hop. 3 Qualifiers_(ATM_Devices) /ATMADDRESS /ATMADDRESS=LES sets the LAN emulation server (LES) address for asynchronous transfer mode (ATM). Usually the address is not user specified, and this qualifier is used only if you want a specific address. By default the address is determined by software from the configuration server for the LES. The /ATMADDRESS=LES qualifier's syntax is as follows: SET DEVICE/ATMADDRESS = ([NO]LES=the ATM server) /ATMADDRESS=ARP sets the address resolution protocol (ARP) server address for Classical IP over ATM. This qualifier is required before a LIS is enabled if the local host is not the ARP server. The /ATMADDRESS=ARP qualifier's syntax is as follows: SET DEVICE/ATMADDRESS = (ARP=atm_arp_server) /CLIP Sets the Classical Internet Protocol (CLIP) over ATM (RFC1577). The CLIP qualifier implements a data-link level device as a client and/or a server in a logical IP subnet (LIS). This allows the IP protocol to transmit Ethernet frames over the ATM network. The /CLIP = ENABLE command causes the system to join the LIS. The /CLIP = DISABLE command causes the client to leave the logical IP subnet. Note that a LIS requires a server, and there must be only one server for each subnet. Communication between subnets can only be performed by a router. There can only be one client for each ATM adapter. The /CLIP qualifier's syntax with standard Internet dotted notation is as follows: SET DEVICE/CLIP =(ip_subnet=a.b.c.d, ip_address=a.b.c.d, parent=devnam, name="ip subnet name", enable, disable type = client|server) The meanings for the syntax for /CLIP are as follows: Option Meaning ip_address Specifies the IP address of the CLIP client. ip_subnet Specifies the subnet mask of the CLIP client. parent=devnam Specifies the parent device name. name Specifies a name for the LIS to aid in operations and diagnostics. type=client Starts up a classical IP client only. This is the default. type=server Starts up a classical IP server. Only one server for each LIS is allowed, and the server needs to be started first. type=(server,client) Starts up a classical IP server and client. Keywords and their meaning for /CLIP are as follows: Keyword Meaning Enable Joins the logical IP subnet. Disable Causes a client to leave the logical IP subnet. /ELAN The /ELAN qualifier has two values: enable and disable. With /ELAN=ENABLE along with the keyword STARTUP, the LAN emulation is loaded when LANACP starts. With /ELAN=DISABLE, the same parameters used with ENABLE can be invoked. The /ELAN qualifier's syntax is as follows: DEFINE DEVICE/ELAN =(parent=parent device, name="ELAN NAME to join", size=1516 type=CSMACD Enable, Disable, description = "description string,") The meaning of the syntax for /ELAN is as follows: Option Meaning parent The ATM adapter device name. An example of the parent device for DAPCA is: HWn0, where n is the controller number. An example of the parent device for DGLTA is: HCn0, where n is the controller number. name Optionally specified if you want to join a specific ELAN. The default is null. size Maximum frame size of the LAN you want to join. Valid sizes are 1516, 4544, or 9234 bytes. The default is 1516. type Support currently only for CSMACD, which is the default. description A method of describing the ELAN for display purposes only. Keywords and their meanings for /ELAN are as follows: Keyword Meaning Enable Begins a join on a specified emulated LAN. It also loads the driver, if not already loaded. Disable Causes a client to leave the emulated LAN. /PVC /PVC=(vci[,...]) /[NO]PVC=(vci[,...]) Sets the permanent virtual circuit (PVC) to be used by a Classical IP over ATM client. This is an optional qualifier. A list of PVCs is defined for use by CLIP clients. This command should be used before enabling the CLIP client. The PVC has to be set up manually in the ATM switch. The vci is the VCI (Virtual Circuit ID) of the PVC to be used. Examples 1. LANCP> SET DEVICE/CONTENDER/MEDIA=UTP/NOEARLY/SOURCE ICA0 Enables monitor contention, UTP cable media, source routing and disables early token release for Token Ring device ICA0. 2. LANCP> SET DEVICE/MEDIA=TWI EWB0 Sets the media type to twisted pair for the second Tulip Ethernet device, EWB0. 3. LANCP> SET DEVICE EXA0/MOPDLL=ENABLE Enables MOP downline load service for device EXA0, leaving the remaining MOPDLL parameters unchanged. 4. LANCP> SET DEVICE EXA0/MOPDLL=(ENABLE,EXCLUSIVE,SIZE=1482) Enables MOP downline load service for device EXA0, in exclusive mode with the data transfer size of 1482 bytes, leaving the remaining MOPDLL parameters unchanged. 5. LANCP> SET DEVICE EXA0/MOPDLL=(ENABLE,NOEXCLUSIVE) LANCP> SET DEVICE FXA0/MOPDLL=(ENABLE,EXCL,KNOWN) These commands enable LANACP MOP downline load service for: o LAN device EXA0 in nonexclusive mode o LAN device FXB0 in exclusive mode for only known clients 2 NODE Enters a node into the LAN volatile node database or modifies an existing entry. Requires SYSPRV privilege. Format SET NODE node-name 3 Parameter node-name Supplies the name of a node to be added to the LAN volatile node database or an entry to be modified. Typically, the node name is the same as that given in the system parameter SCSNODE, but it does not need to be. The node name is limited to 63 characters in length. 3 Qualifiers /ADDRESS /ADDRESS=node-address /NOADDRESS (default) Associates a LAN address with the node name. Specify the address as 6 bytes in hexadecimal notation, separated by hyphens. The address does not have to be unique (as might be the case when the address is not known, so a nonexistent address is specified). If multiple node addresses are to be associated with a node name, each combination may be given as a node name with an extension, for example, VAXSYS.EXA for the EXA device on node VAXSYS, or VAXSYS_1 for the first LAN device on node VAXSYS. If you do not specify the /ADDRESS qualifier, the setting remains unchanged. The /NOADDRESS qualifier clears the field. /ALL Defines data for all nodes in the LAN volatile node database. If you specify a node name, all matching nodes are selected; for example, A/ALL selects all nodes beginning with A. /BOOT_TYPE /BOOT_TYPE=boot-option /NOBOOT_TYPE Indicates the type of processing required for downline load requests. You can specify one of the following keywords with this qualifier: o VAX_SATELLITE-a VAX satellite cluster boot o ALPHA_SATELLITE-an Alpha satellite cluster boot o I64_SATELLITE-an OpenVMS Cluster I64 satellite boot o OTHER-the specified image; noncluster satellite loads that do not require additional data The distinction is necessary, because OpenVMS Cluster satellite loads require additional cluster-related data be appended to the load image given by the /FILE qualifier. The default value is OTHER. If you do not specify the /BOOT_TYPE qualifier, the setting remains unchanged. The /NOBOOT_TYPE qualifier clears the field. Note that I64 satellites boot using TFTP rather than MOP services. This boot type is included so that the information in the node database can be maintained, not because it is needed for booting purposes. /DECNET_ADDRESS /DECNET_ADDRESS=value /NODECNET_ADDRESS Associates a DECnet address with the node name. Specify the address in DECnet notation, xx.xxxx. If you do not specify the /DECNET_ADDRESS=value qualifier, then the setting remains unchanged. The /NODECNET_ADDRESS qualifier clears the field. /FILE /FILE=file-spec /NOFILE Supplies the file name of a boot file to be used when the downline load request does not include a file name (for example, OpenVMS Cluster satellite booting). The file specification is limited to 127 characters. If no file name is specified, OpenVMS Cluster satellite loads default to APB.EXE where the boot type is set to ALPHA and NISCS_ LOAD.EXE where the boot type is set to VAX. If you do not specify the /FILE qualifier, the setting remains unchanged. The /NOFILE qualifier clears the field. /IP_ADDRESS /IP_ADDRESS=value /NOIP_ADDRESS Associates an IP address with the node name. Specify the address in the standard dotted notation, xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. If you do not specify the /IP_ADDRESS=value qualifier, the setting remains unchanged. The /NOIP_ADDRESS qualifier clears the filed. /PERMANENT_DATABASE /PERMANENT_DATABASE (SET NODE only) Updates the node entries in the LAN volatile node database with any data currently set in the permanent database. This allows you to update the volatile database after changing data in the permanent database, rather than repeating the commands for each updated entry to apply the changes to the volatile database. /ROOT /ROOT=directory-specification /NOROOT Supplies the directory specification to be associated with the file name. For cluster satellite service, the /ROOT qualifier specifies the satellite root directory. For noncluster service, this qualifier specifies the location of the file. If the file specification or the file name given in the boot request includes the directory name, this qualifier is ignored. The directory specification is limited to 127 characters. If you do not specify the /ROOT qualifier, the setting remains unchanged. The /NOROOT qualifier clears the field. /SIZE /SIZE=value /NOSIZE Specifies the size in bytes of the file data portion of each downline load message. The default is the load data size specified for the device. The permitted range is 246 to 1482 bytes. Use a larger size for better load performance and less server overhead. If you do not specify the /SIZE qualifier, the setting remains unchanged. The /NOSIZE qualifier clears the setting. /V3 /V3 /NOV3 Indicates that only MOP Version 3 formatted messages are to be used for downline load purposes, regardless of the requested format. This allows systems to load that have a problem with MOP Version 4 booting. This qualifier causes the requesting node to fail over from MOP Version 4 to MOP Version 3 when no response has been made to a MOP Version 4 load request. If you do not specify the /V3 qualifier, the setting remains unchanged. The /NOV3 qualifier clears the setting. /VOLATILE_DATABASE /VOLATILE_DATABASE (DEFINE NODE only) Updates the node entries in the LAN permanent node database with any data currently set in the volatile database. This allows you to update the permanent database after changing data in the volatile database, rather than repeating the commands for each updated entry to apply the changes to the permanent database. 3 Examples 1.LANCP> SET NODE VAXSYS/ADDRESS=08-00-2B-11-22-33 - /FILE=APB.EXE - /ROOT=$64$DIA14: - /BOOT_TYPE=ALPHA_SATELLITE This command sets up node VAXSYS for booting as an Alpha satellite into the cluster. The APB.EXE file is actually located on $64$DIA14: . Note that the is supplied by the LANACP LAN Server process and is not included in the root definition. 2.LANCP> SET NODE VAXSYS/ADDRESS=08-00-2B-11-22-33 - /FILE=NISCS_LOAD.EXE - /ROOT=$64$DIA14: - /BOOT_TYPE=VAX_SATELLITE This command sets up node VAXSYS for booting as a VAX satellite into the OpenVMS Cluster. The NISCS_LOAD.EXE file is actually located on $64$DIA14: . The is supplied by the LANACP LAN Server process and is not included in the root definition. 3.LANCP> SET NODE VAXSYS/ADDRESS=08-00-2B-11-22-33/NOROOT This command changes the LAN address associated with node VAXSYS and clears the current root specification. 4.SET NODE CALPAL/ADDRESS=08-00-2B-11-22-33/FILE=APB_061.EXE This command sets up node CALPAL for booting an InfoServer image. It defines the file that should be loaded when a load request without file name is received from node CALPAL. Because the file does not include a directory specification, the logical name LAN$DLL defines where to locate the file. You could give directory specification using the file name or by using the /ROOT qualifier. Note that specifying the file name explicitly in the boot command overrides the file name specified in the node database entry.
