NETCONTROL
Example
This example illustrates how each NETCONTROL command is used. See
individual commands for further details and examples.
To check the level of transport software installed, enter
:NETCONTROL VERSION
To start a transport having a LAN network named “LAN1” plus a
loopback network named “LOOP” and a router network named
“ROUTER1”, having links “PSI40” and “PSI48” under it, enter
:NETCONTROL START; NET=LAN1
:NETCONTROL START; NET=ROUTER1
:NETCONTROL START; NET=LOOP
To then enable the NS 3000/iX Services (DSCOPY, etc.), enter
:NSCONTROL START
To now take down the “PSI40” link on the “ROUTER1” network because
someone wants to use that link for RJE/iX access, (the other link
“PSI48” is still available to the router), enter
:NETCONTROL DELLINK=PSI40; NET=ROUTER1
To check if the PROBE protocol is running on the “LAN1” network,
enter
:NETCONTROL STATUS=ALL; NI=LAN1; PROT=PROBE
To bring the PSI link “PSI40” back online after RJE/iX users have
finished with it, enter
:NETCONTROL ADDLINK=PSI40; NET=ROUTER1
To update the “ROUTER1” network with new node mappings added to
the NMCONFIG file without stopping that network, enter
:NETCONTROL UPDATE=MAPPING; NET=ROUTER1
To start TCP message and data tracing for all networks (since TCP is a
general protocol), enter
:NETCONTROL TRACEON=MHD; PROT=TCP
To stop the NS 3000/iX Services, enter
:NSCONTROL STOP
To stop all networks, tracing, and the entire transport, enter
:NETCONTROL STOP
