Format
SET NETWORK network-service
1 – Parameter
network-service
Specifies the name of a network service.
2 – Qualifiers
2.1 /ADDRESS
/ADDRESS=address[es]
Specifies the network address of the local node.
2.2 /CONNECTIONS
/CONNECTIONS=
Specifies a command to be executed to display the number of
network connections.
2.3 /COUNTERS
/COUNTERS=
Specifies a command to be executed to display the number of
network counters.
2.4 /DATA
/DATA=
Specifies a character string provided by the network service
vendor.
2.5 /INTERFACE
/INTERFACE=
Specifies the OpenVMS driver for the network service.
2.6 /MANUFACTURER
/MANUFACTURER=
Specifies the manufacturer of the network service.
2.7 /NETWORK_TYPE
/NETWORK_TYPE=
Specifies the protocol for the network service.
2.8 /NODE
/NODE=
Specifies the name of the local node.
2.9 /PPPD_CALLOUT
/PPPD_CALLOUT=image-name
Specifies the name of the protected shareable image activated
by PPPD. This image contains the routine PPPD$OPEN_CONNECT,
which notifies the network service that a new physical transport
exists that supports PPP. If the image resides in the SYS$SHARE
directory, enter the file name of the image without the suffix
(such as, PPPD_CALLOUT instead of PPPD_CALLOUT.EXE); otherwise,
enter the system logical that identifies the location of the
image.
2.10 /REGISTER
Defines a new network service.
2.11 /REMOVE
Deletes a network service from the database.
2.12 /START
/START=
Specifies an image to be executed when you issue the
START/NETWORK command for the network service.
2.13 /STATUS
/STATUS=
Specifies a command to be executed to display additional status
information.
2.14 /STOP
/STOP=
Specifies an image to be executed when you issue the STOP/NETWORK
command for the network service.
2.15 /UPDATE
Allows you to modify the specified data for the network service.
3 – Examples
1.$ SET NETWORK DECnet -
_$ /MANUFACTURER= "Hewlett-Packard Company" -
_$ /NODE="GALENA" -
_$ /ADDRESS="19.129" -
_$ /NETWORK_TYPE="DNA V" -
_$ /INTERFACE="net 0" -
_$ /DATA="Router: No" -
_$ /STATUS="mcr ncl show node 0 all" -
_$ /CONNECTIONS="mcr ncl show node 0 session control port * all"-
_$ /COUNTERS="mcr ncl show node 0 session control all counters"-
_$ /START="@sys$startup:net$startup" -
_$ /STOP="@sys$manager:net$shutdown"
This command adds the network service DECnet-Plus (Phase V) to
the database, with the specified characteristics.
2.$ SET NETWORK "TCP/IP" /REGISTER -
_$ /MANUFACTURER="Hewlett-Packard Company" -

_$ /PPPD_CALLOUT="TCPIP$PPPD_CALLOUT"
This command creates a new TCP/IP network service, adds it
to the database, and enables the PPPD utility by supplying a
logical name that identifies the location of the shareable
image.
