Adds or updates a node in the current network directory. SyntaxParameters- 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 here.
DescriptionADDNODE 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 type
The numerical type associated with each type of
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.
