4.9.2 Step 2, Enter Information into Executor’s NCP Volatile
Database
The second step of booting over an Ethernet is entering the
target node information into the Network Control Program
(NCP) volatile database on the executor system.
Example 4–5: Step 2, Entering Target Node Information
$ MCR NCP ! On the executor system, at
! the DCL prompt, run NCP.
NCP> ! NCP prompt appears.
! Enter information from the
! target node that you
! gathered in Step 1.
NCP> set node TARGET service circuit MNA-0
NCP> set node TARGET address 9.961
NCP> set node TARGET hardware address 08-00-2B-08-3D-64
NCP> set node TARGET tertiary loader sys$system:tertiary_vmb.exe
NCP> show node TARGET char ! Check information by showing
! node TARGET’s characteristics.
Node Volatile Characteristics as of DD-MMM-YYYY 00:00:01
Remote node = 9.961 (TARGET)
Service circuit = MNA-0
Hardware address = 08-00-2B-08-3D-64
Tertiary loader = sys$system:tertiary_vmb.exe
NCP> ! Prompt returns; show
NCP> sho circuit mna-0 char
! circuit characteristics.
Circuit Volatile Characteristics as of DD-MMM-YYYY 00:00:01
Circuit = MNA-0
State = on
Service = enabled
Designated router = 9.739 (ABCDEF)
Cost = 4
Router priority = 64
Hello timer = 15
Type = Ethernet
Adjacent node = 9.739 (ABCDEF)
Listen time = 45
