The optional Assistant System argument specifies a MOP client entity, from which an assistant address can be obtained. This argument is meaningful for LAN circuits only. The assistant address is the LAN address of the node to be used as the loopback assistant. The involvement of the assistant depends on the Assistance Type parameter. For assistance of type none (the default), no assistant is needed, and is ignored if specified. For other values, an assistant is required. An assistant can be specified either by including an Assistant Address or Assistant System argument in the command line, but not both. If neither is provided, then an assistant is located by first sending a request to the loopback assistant multicast address. loop [node node-id] mop client client-name - assistance type transmit-receive-or-full, - assistant system client-name [,optional arguments...] Address and Circuit information loop is required for the loop mop client command. If the Client cannot provide default Address and Circuit information, then that information must be specified in the command. loop [node node-id] mop client client-name - address lan-address, - circuit circuit-name, - assistance type transmit-receive-or-full, - assistant system client-name [,optional arguments...] Examples: loop mop client lamchp - ! Lamchp gives Address and Circuit assistant system prkchp, - ! Client prkchp has Assistant Address assistance type full loop mop client foofoo - ! Client foofoo gives default Circuit address 08-00-2b-44-33-5F, - assistant system barbar, - ! Barbar gives Assistant Address assistance type full
