Purges an X.25 virtual circuit address key from the network
directory and the configuration file.
Syntax
Parameters
- filename
The name of a text file that contains X.25 address
information for each remote node to be deleted from 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
PURGEVC removes an address
key from both the local network directory and the configuration
file. If there are multiple occurrences of the same address key
under a single NI, all occurrences are purged. The directory node
associated with the address key to be purged will be purged itself
if it contains no other addresses.
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.
PURGEVC 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 PURGEVC is used interactively
and no filename is specified, the user is prompted to enter address
parameters for each remote node. When PURGEVC
is run interactively and a filename is specified, or when the command
is run from a job, entries must be made in the following format:
nodename[,] address key[,] NI name [;]
The description of each address key parameter is as follows:
- nodename
The name of a node for which the address key is
to be purged. 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.
- address key
The name tag used to relate a node name and IP address
from the network directory with a switched or permanent virtual
circuit address configured under an X.25 NI in the local configuration
file. The name may contain a maximum of eight alphanumeric characters.
- NI name
The network interface name. The name of the local
X.25 NI, (configured under the path NETXPORT.NI).
The name may contain a maximum of eight alphanumeric characters.
Example
To purge a virtual circuit associated with the NI named X25
for the node named NODE1.XLNET.ACCTG:
NMMGR> OPENDIR NSDIR.NET.SYS
|
Enter the node name (or press return to exit):
|
PURGEVC> NODE1.XLNET.ACCTG
|
Address key NODE1 deleted.
|
Enter node name (or press return to exit):
