ADDNODE
Adds or updates a node in the current network directory.
Syntax
ADDNODE [filename]
Parameters
filename The name of a text file that contains node name and
address information for each node to be added or
updated in the network 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
ADDNODE adds or updates nodes in the network directory. New nodes are
automatically created when they are entered. New path reports (IP
address/additional address pairs) can be added to new or existing nodes.
Path reports on existing nodes can be modified.
The directory file must be opened either via the Open
Configuration/Directory File screen or via the OPENDIR maintenance mode
command before ADDNODE can be used.
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 the command is run interactively and no filename is specified, you
are prompted to enter parameters for each node. When the command is run
interactively and a filename is specified, or when the command is run
from a job, parameters for each node name entry are formatted as follows:
nodename[,] IP address[,] [additional address type[,][additional
address]] [;]
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 be added or updated with new
path report data. The format is:
nodename.domain.organization
Each of the three names may be from one to sixteen
characters long, must begin with a letter, and may
contain letters, digits, underscores, or dashes.
If the nodename does not exist, it will be created.
If it does exist, the IP address and additional
address (if any) will be added to its path report
list in the directory.
IP address The IP address of the remote node. A node may have
several IP addresses, one for each path report. The
format of the address is the same as the IP address
in the Network Directory Data screen. It must be
enclosed in quotes (") if it is not entered
interactively.
additional address The numerical type associated with each type of
type additional address on the Network Directory Data
screen. If there is no additional address associated
with the node you are adding, enter a 1 (the
default). If there is an additional address, enter
the number corresponding to the type of the address.
The types are as follows:
1 No additional address (default, IP address only)
2 LAN/IEEE802.3
3 X.25
4 NS/SNA
5 LAN/ETHERNET
additional address The additional address, if any, to be associated with
the IP address specified for the node name. If the
address is of type LAN/IEEE802.3 or LAN/ETHERNET,
then the additional address is an IEEE802.3 or
ETHERNET address with the format xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx
where x is a hexadecimal digit (0-9, or A-F). If the
address type is X.25, then an X.25 address key name
must be specified here.
Example
To interactively add a path report for the node named NODE1.XLNET.ACCTG
(user input is underlined):
NMMGR> OPENDIR NSDIR.NET.SYS
NMMGR> ADDNODE
Enter node name (or press return to exit):
ADDNODE >NODE1.XLNET.ACCTG
Enter IP address:
ADDNODE >C 192.000.001 002
Enter additional address type,
(1-IP, 2-LAN/IEEE802.3, 3-X.25, 4-NS/SNA, 5-LAN/ETHERNET, (default
is 1):
ADDNODE >2
Enter additional address:
ADDNODE >11-22-33-44-55-66
NODE1.XLNET.ACCTG saved.
Enter node name (or press return to exit):
ADDNODE > [RETURN]
