Using NMMGR in Maintenance Mode

ADDVC

Adds an X.25 virtual circuit address key to the network directory and to

the conﬁguration ﬁle.

Syntax

ADDVC [filename]

Parameters

filename The name of a text ﬁle that contains X.25 address

information for each remote node to be added to the

conﬁguration ﬁle and directory. The format for the ﬁle

name is:

filename[.groupname[.accountname]]

A ﬁle lockword may not be speciﬁed. The contents of the

ﬁle must be formatted as described below.

Description

ADDVC updates both the local network directory and the conﬁguration

ﬁle with X.25 address information. It uses the address key speciﬁed for

the network directory to relate the remote node name to an IP address,

local NI name, and an X.25 address.

The directory and conﬁguration ﬁles must be opened either via the

Open Conﬁguration/Directory File screen or via the OPENDIR and

OPENCONF maintenance mode command before ADDVC is invoked.

This command can be run interactively, by entering maintenance mode

from screen mode and typing the command, or it can be run from a

batch job.

When ADDVC is used interactively and no ﬁlename is speciﬁed, the user

is prompted to enter address parameters for each remote node. When

ADDVC is run interactively and a ﬁlename is speciﬁed, or when the

command is run from a job, each entry is deﬁned as a set of positional

parameters delimited by spaces or a comma. An unspeciﬁed parameter

must be delimited by a comma, or by a semicolon if it occurs at the end

of the entry.

For switched virtual circuits, the format is:

nodename[,] “IP address”[,] address key[,] NI name[,] Y[,] svc address[,]

[facility set][,] [security class][;]

For permanent virtual circuits, the format is:

nodename[,] “IP address”[,] address key[,] NI name[,] N[,] circuit number[;]

The description of each parameter that must be deﬁned when the

command is run from a job or with a ﬁlename speciﬁed is as follows:

nodename The name of a node to which the address key is to be

added. The format is:
