The LAN configuration monitor listens for system id messages on
the LAN and records the results. HP-supplied LAN stations
transmit a system id message every 10 minutes on average.
Therefore, by listening to these messages the configuration
monitor builds a database containing details about most systems
that are operational.
To use the Configuration Monitor, MOP must be started on the
system, refer to HELP MOP for information on how to configure
and start MOP. If a mop circuit has already been created, you
may start the configuration monitor by enabling that function
on that MOP circuit, as in:
ncl> enable mop circuit csmacd-1 function {configuration monitor}
The configuration monitor then stores the data it collects as a
set of station subentities, one for each address from which a
system id is received. The name of a station entity is
constructed from a LAN address. Use the show command to view
the contents of this database, as in:
ncl> show mop circuit csmacd-1 station * all
To discontinue operation of the configuration monitor and delete
the contents of the database, you may disable that function, as
in:
ncl> disable mop circuit csmacd-1 function {configuration monitor}
