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}
