Shows the node's logon information and the lists of which the node is a member.

Syntax

SHOWNODE node

Parameters

node

NetCI name of the node whose information is to be displayed. If you want to display the information for all nodes in the NetCI configuration, specify

     SHOWNODE @

Discussion

Passwords are not displayed for security reasons.

Example

This example shows the logon information and the lists of which node Y is a member. The information displayed shows that node Y is a member of LIST1 and no commands or programs are being executed on this node (no session is established).

     NetCI>SHOWNODE Y
     Y               Connection is closed     Login Data: OPERATOR.SYS     Dsline = Y     Node is on lists:               LIST1

Configuring for Command Broadcast

You may group nodes in the network in various combinations. By grouping nodes and assigning each group to a list, you can "broadcast" to all nodes on the list by issuing a command referencing that list name.

To configure nodes for command broadcast, use the following commands:

  • NEWLIST to first create a list.

  • ALTLIST to add nodes to or delete nodes from a list

  • PURGELIST to delete a list and all its nodes.

You can then use the SHOWLIST command to 1) display all the nodes belonging to a list, 2) check whether you correctly added a particular node to or deleted a node from a list, 3) verify whether a list is deleted, or 4) display all lists. Refer to the commands on the following pages for more specific details.

When you broadcast or execute a command on a list, you execute the command sequentially on each node on the list. If a node is down, execution will continue to the next node on the list.

Sample LAN

Using our sample LAN (Figure 8-2 “Sample Internetwork”), we will create for NET3 three lists identified as LIST1, LIST2, and ALLNODES with different nodes assigned to each list. First, we must use the NEWLIST command to create and assign a name to each list.

     NetCI>NEWLIST LIST1     NetCI>NEWLIST LIST2     NetCI>NEWLIST ALLNODES

Next we will use the ALTLIST command to assign nodes to each list.

     NetCI>ALTLIST ADD LIST1 K,I,H     NetCI>ALTLIST ADD LIST2 K,L,H     NetCI>ALTLIST ADD ALLNODES K,Y,I,L,H

The first list, named LIST1, will have three members, nodes K, I, and H. The second list, named LIST2, will also have three members, nodes K, L, and H. The third list, named ALLNODES, will have five members, nodes K, Y, I, L, and H. We will now use the SHOWLIST command to verify that we correctly added or assigned the nodes to each list.

     NetCI>SHOWLIST @     LIST1     Nodes on list:              H   I   K     LIST2     Nodes on list:              H   L   K     ALLNODES     Nodes on list:             H   L   I   Y   K
