Console User Interface 2-11

The show network command displays all supported network boot devices

(Ethernet and FDDI) and assigns a mnemonic to each (exa0.0.0.14.0,

fxb0.0.0.4.1, for example).

The device name for end I/O devices (disks, tapes, network devices, and so

forth) is of the form:

ddccuuuu.node.channel.slot.hose

where the fields, described in Table 2-4, are separated by periods (.). Num-

bers in Table 2-4 are decimal.

node

3 (max) Node number (0–255) of the device on a remote

(CI or DSSI) bus. If the remote node is a CI, this

is the CI node number of the HSC; if it is a

DSSI, this is the node number of the disk.

channel

1 Channel number (0–1); used only if the adapter

is a KFMSA (VAX 7000) or KZMSA (DEC 7000).
