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.
Address information specifying the node to receive the
loop is required for the loop mop circuit command. If the
Address argument is not specified in the command, then the
Client argument must be specified so the address
information can be obtained from the MOP Client database.
