Chapter 8. Configuring and Monitoring DNA IV
DNA IV Configuration and Monitoring Commands
This section describes the NCP configuration and monitoring commands. Enter the
commands at the
NCP> prompt. All NCP commands can be accessed from either
the configuration or monitoring environments.
Table 58. NCP Configuration and Monitoring Commands
Command Function
? (Help) Displays all the commands available for this command level or
lists the options for specific commands (if available). See
“Getting Help” on page xxvi.
define Defines items in the nonvolatile (permanent) database,
including:
v Access control lists and routing filters
v Circuit items
v Arguments global to DNA
v Configuration data from the nodes
purge module Removes access control lists and routing filters from the
permanent database.
set Sets or changes items in the volatile database, including:
v Circuit items
v Arguments global to DNA
v Configuration data from the nodes
show Displays the status of the volatile database and volatile nodes
in the routing database.
show/list Displays items in the volatile (show) or permanent (list)
database, including:
v The current state of the specified circuits
v The current state of the volatile/permanent database for
DNA
v DECnet access control lists that have been defined in the
permanent database for the router
v DECnet area routing filters that have been defined in the
permanent database for the router
zero Clears circuit counters in the volatile database, global
counters in the volatile database, and counters in the access
control list module. Does
not clear the argument settings
made with set or define commands.
Exit Returns you to the previous command level. See “Exiting a
Lower Level Environment” on page xxvii.
Note the following information about the commands:
1. The define commands do not take effect until the next time the router is started.
2. The list, define, and purge commands modify or display data in the permanent
(router’s Static RAM) database. The permanent database is stored in the
configuration, and remains in effect across restarts, software loads, and power
cycles.
3. The show and list commands are the most useful for monitoring the DNA IV
protocol.
4. Use set, show, and zero to modify, display, or clear data in the volatile
database.
