Commands
NETCONTROL UPDATE
Address Key Paths screen, to the specified X.25
network interface’s mapping table and X.25 protocol
module. This allows adding new SVC destinations or
adding a new node to the L.U.G. (Local User Group)
table. Valid for X.25 NI types only.
ALL The control process will update all areas which apply to
the specified network interface or gateway half's type.
Areas not supported for that NI type will not be
updated. Updating will occur in this order: INTERNET,
MAPPING, NETDIR, X25.
NET=niName Specifies the name of a configured network interface to
be updated, which has already been started. Enter any
valid NI name from the NMMGR Network Interface
Configuration screen which is not a gateway half. If the
specified NI is not configured and started, a “NOT
STARTED” error will occur.
GATE=gatehalfName
Specifies the name of a configured gateway half
network interface to be updated, which has already
been started. Enter any valid gatehalf NI name from
the NMMGR Network Interface Configuration screen.
If the specified NI is not configured and started, a “NOT
STARTED” error will occur.
Discussion
The update function updates transport with certain configuration
changes already made through NMMGR. In this way, those kinds of
changes can become active without having to first take down and then
restart the network or the entire transport.
The types of changes which can be updated are those concerned with
addresses of reachable nodes and networks ONLY; others, such as
timeout changes, require stopping and restarting transport to take
effect. UPDATE’s keywords (NETDIR, INTERNET, etc.) localize which
kind of configuration data will be updated. This command can be
entered at any time after the specified NI has been started.
Not all options are valid for all network interface types. Table 7-2
summarizes the applicability of the various UPDATE options to each
NI type.
