Commands
NETCONTROL STOP
NETCONTROL STOP
Terminates individual network interfaces on an active transport, or the
entire transport and all its network interfaces.
Syntax
NETCONTROL STOP [;{NET=niName }]
{GATE=gatehalfName}
Parameters
STOP This function, if issued without parameters when
transport is active, irrecoverably stops the entire
transport. When NET or GATE is specified, only that one
network interface and its attached protocols are
terminated; all other network interfaces and protocols
will continue to operate.
NET=niName Specifies the name of a configured network interface to
be terminated, which was previously started. All
protocols and links configured under that NI will also
be terminated. Enter any valid NI name from the
NMMGR Network Interface screen which is not a
gateway half. If neither NET nor GATE are specified, the
entire transport will be terminated, including all links,
NIs, protocols, and the control process. If transport or
the specified NI was not running, a “NOT STARTED”
error will occur.
GATE=gatehalfName
Specifies the name of a configured gateway half
network interface to be terminated, and which was
previously started. All protocols and links configured
under that NI will also be terminated. Enter any valid
gatehalf NI name from the NMMGR Network Interface
Configuration screen. The niName discussion for NET
and GATE applies to gatehalf name also.
Discussion
If STOP is issued without the NET or GATE keyword, all entities of the
network transport are terminated. If STOP is combined with the
keyword NET, only the specified non-gatehalf network interface is
terminated. If STOP is combined with the keyword GATE, only the
specified gateway half is terminated.
