1 set
Use the set command to modify one or more attributes of an
entity. For example:
ncl> set node 0 osi transport delay factor=6,delay weight=10
modifies two characteristics of the OSI Transport entity. If
you specify more than one characteristic in a set command, use a
comma to separate each characteristic and its value.
If you specify a characteristic name, but no value, the
characteristic is set to its default value; for example:
ncl> set node 0 osi transport delay factor
sets delay factor to its default value, 4.
Use set to give a value to a characteristic whose value is a set,
for example:
ncl> set node 0 osi transport cons filters={filter_2,filter_3}
but note the difference between this command and:
ncl> add node 0 osi transport cons filters={filter_2,filter_3}
The set command gives the cons filters characteristic a set value
with two components: filter_2 and filter_3; if the set previously
had other values, these are lost. The add command, on the other
hand, adds the values filter_2 and filter_3 to whatever values
the characteristic already has; any other current values are
retained.
To specify the empty set (that is, a set with no values), specify
{ } as the value.
The set of attributes called characteristics can be
changed by direct management commands and not by the system or
indirect commands. For example, it may be changed by the set
command, but not by the create or enable commands. However, some
characteristics are read-only and never change. Each entity section
gives complete information about the entity's characteristics, if any,
and explains if and how they are modified.
Sequences, sets, and similar constructed data types must be
explicitly stated in a set command.
There are certain restrictions on the use of set to modify
characteristics:
o Some characteristics can be modified only while the entity is
disabled.
o A few characteristics can be modified only while the entity
is disabled, and can then have only their value increased, not
decreased.
2 alias_(OpenVMS)
set [node node-id] alias port port-name -
selection weight integer
Selection Weight is the number of sequential incoming connects to
be passed to this member node in the round-robin sequence before
proceeding to the next member node in the sequence. A value of
zero means this node is not eligible to receive incoming
connections to this alias address. Selection Weight is used to
apportion incoming alias connections according to the capacity
of each alias member. Nodes with greater capacity should have
larger values of Selection Weight, while local area VMScluster
satellities should generally have a value of zero. Values
between 0 and 10 are suggested.
NOTE
The nsp maximum transport connection value determines the
number of connections on an alias member. If the Alias Port
is enabled, changing the nsp maximum transport connection
value has no effect.
Example:
set alias port DEC:.LKG.BULEAN selection weight 5

and if the system supports dual routing (both DECnet and IP
routing).
4 external_routes
Support: L2,IP
Default: Receive Value: Set of send,receive
If the set includes receive, external gateway routes are accepted
from neighbors in the group; if the set does not include receive,
external gateway routes are discarded. If the set includes send,
external gateway routes will be sent to neighbors in this group;
if the set does not include send, external gateway routes are not
sent. You can modify this characteristic only when the entity is
disabled.

entity is disabled.
4 receive_metric_class
Support: L2,IP
Default: External Value: Internal or external
The class to be associated with routes received from EGP
neighbors in this group (unless overridden by a routing receive
route entity). You can modify this characteristic only when the
entity is disabled.
4 send_local_metric
Support: L2,IP
Default: 1 Value: 0-255

local information (unless overridden by a routing send route
entity). You can modify this characteristic only when the entity
is disabled.
4 send_metric_classes
Support: L2,IP
Default: Internal Value: Set of external,internal
Routes received through routing protocols other than EGP with
metric classes in this set are candidates for announcement
in EGP messages sent to neighbors in this group, subject to
route propagation policy. Routes with metric classes not
specified in this set will not be announced. You can modify this
characteristic only when the entity is disabled.
4 send_replacement_metric
Support: L2,IP
Default: 1 Value: 0-255
Specifies the metric value to be used when announcing routes
derived from non-EGP routing protocols (unless overridden by a

verifier hex-string
4 verifier
Support: All
Default: No verifier Value: hex-string, length 0-38
Verifier to be checked from this neighbor. You may change this
characteristic at any time; however, the change will not take
effect until the circuit is next initialized. You cannot
display this characteristic.
If the verifier is not set, then a connection to the neighboring
node whose ID matches the ID in this entry is allowed. If the
verifier is set, the connection is allowed only if the verifier
sent by the remote node matches the one in this entry.
Examples:

Select proxy to view the modifiable attributes of a session
control proxy on Tru64 UNIX.
3 address_update_interval
Default: 10 Values: 1-4294967296
Specifies the minimum time (in seconds) allowed between updates
of address information. More frequent modification to the set of
local towers is prohibited.
Example:

3 backtranslation_search_path
Default: {} Value: Ordered list of directory, template
An ordered list used by the common directory interface to determine
the order of the naming services used for lookup in
address-to-nodename translation.
On OpenVMS the recommended method of modifying this attribute is to
run NET$CONFIGURE and use Option 2. The result of the configuration
is saved in the SYS$MANAGER:NET$SEARCHPATH_STARTUP.NCL script so the
session control backtranslation search path attribute will be re-set
on startup.
Example:
set node 0 session control back search path -
([directory service = local, template = ""], -
[directory service = domain, template = ""])
3 decnet-internet_gateway_enabled_(Tru64_UNIX)
Default: False Value: True or false
If true, the DECnet-Internet Gateway is enabled.
3 decnet-internet_gateway_user_(Tru64_UNIX)
Name of a user under whose account to run gateway applications.
3 incoming_proxy
Default: True Value: True or false
Specifies whether to honor incoming proxy requests. If this
attribute is set to false, requests to invoke proxies on incoming
requests are ignored.
Example:
set session control incoming proxy true
3 incoming_timer
Default: 45 Values: 0-65535
Time (in seconds) to wait for a user module to issue an
accept/reject call after a port enters a state indicating that
a connection request was received. If the timer expires, Session
Control aborts the transport connection with a timed out error.
For OpenVMS, a zero (0) value directs Session Control to wait
indefinitely without aborting the connection.
Example:
set session control incoming timer 45
3 maintain_backward_soft_links
Default: False Value: True or false
Specifies whether Session Control should attempt to update
the backward translation soft links when it detects an address
change. If this attribute is set to false, Session Control will
add no new backward translation soft links and it may delete any
that it has created.
Example:
set session control maintain backward soft links true
3 modify_acs
Default: True Value: True or false
Specifies whether Session Control should attempt to update the
ACS (access control set) of the node object whenever it attempts
to update the towers attribute for the node in the namespace.
Example:
set session control modify acs true
3 network_priority_(OpenVMS)
Default: 0 Value: 0-255
When operating over CLNS, indicates network priority encoded in
NPDU header for all transmitted packets. It may only be used by
intermediate systems to assign the packets to queues of appropriate
priority.
3 node_synonym_directory
Default: None Value: Full-name
Full name of a DECdns directory that contains node synonyms.
Example:
set session control node synonym directory DEC:.DNA_NodeSynonym
3 non_privileged_user_(OpenVMS)
Default: None Value: username
Specifies a non-privileged user account. This default account
allows users to perform certain network operations, such as the
exchange of electronic mail between users on different nodes,
without having to supply a user name and password. The default
DECnet user name is also used for file operations when access control
information is not supplied. For example, it permits remote users to
access local files on which the file protection has been set to allow
world access.
You may use NET$CONFIGURE.COM to request a nonprivileged
DECnet account. Refer to the Network Management manual for more
information before adding a default nonprivileged DECnet account.
Example:
set session control non privileged user "netnonpriv"
3 outgoing_proxy
Default: True Value: True or false
Specifies whether to invoke a proxy on outgoing connection
requests when the user does not explicitly specify to do so.
If this attribute is set to false, no proxy is invoked.
Example:
set session control outgoing proxy false
3 outgoing_timer
Default: 60 Values: 0-65535
Time (in seconds) to wait for an outgoing transport connection
to be accepted before Session Control aborts the connection with
a timed out error. For OpenVMS, a zero (0) value directs Session
Control to wait indefinitely without aborting the connection.
Example:
set session control outgoing timer 60
3 soft_link_timer_(Tru64_UNIX)
Default: 30 days Value: Binary relative time
Interval of time (in days) DECdns checks that an object pointed
to by a backward translation soft link still exists.
3 transport_precedence
Default: {} Values: Set of osi or nsp
Note: On the DECnet/OSI for Digital UNIX V1.0
products the default was tp4 rather than osi.
This command sets the order in which transports are selected when
establishing a connection. The default order is to try OSI, then
NSP. The command takes a set as input. Valid items in the set are
SESSION CONTROL TRANSPORT SERVICE entity names.
Examples:
set session control -
transport precedence {} ! By default OSI is preferred over NSP.
set session control -
transport precedence {nsp,osi} ! Prefers NSP over OSI.
3 update_retry_interval
Default: 60 Values: 1-4294967296
Time to wait before Session Control retries a failed attempt to
update information in the namespace.
Example:
set session control update retry interval 60
3 naming_cache_timeout_(OpenVMS)
Default: 30 Value: binary relative time
Amount of time, in days, after which the address and node name
information for a node is deleted from the in-memory, local
naming cache.
Example:
set session control naming cache timeout 30-00:00:00
3 naming_cache_checkpoint_interval_(OpenVMS)
Default: 8 Value: binary relative time

node name information is checkpointed (flushed) to disk from the
in-memory, local naming cache. The minimum is 15 minutes.
Examples:
set session control -
naming cache checkpoint interval 08:00:00
set session control -
naming cache checkpoint interval 00:15:00
3 naming_search_path
Default: {} Value: Ordered list of directory, template
An ordered list used by the common directory interface to determine
the order of the naming services used for lookup in
nodename-to-address translation.
On OpenVMS the recommended method of modifying this attribute is to
run NET$CONFIGURE and use Option 2. The result of the configuration
is saved in the SYS$MANAGER:NET$SEARCHPATH_STARTUP.NCL script so the
session control naming search path attribute will be re-set on
startup.
Example:
set node 0 session control naming search path -
([directory service = local, template = "*"], -
[directory service = local, template = "LOCAL:*"], -
[directory service = local, template = "lOCAL:.*"], -
[directory service = domain, template = "*"], -
[directory service = domain, template = "*.SCH.DEC.COM"])
3 application
set [node node-id] session control -
application object-name-or-object-number ...
You can identify an application with an object name or an object
number. Usually, applications are identified by network object
number 0, but you can optionally assign it a nonzero object number,
in the range from 128 to 255. A nonzero object number can be
specified without an application name. Object numbers 1 through
127 are reserved for use by Tru64. Specific network services
are identified by nonzero object numbers; for example, 27
represents the mail utility.
This Set command modifies attributes of a session control application
entity, which stores information about an end user that is activated
for receipt of an incoming connection request when the request
contains that end user's name in its destination name field.
The modifiable session control application attributes and their
data types [in brackets] are:
accept mode [immediate or deferred] (Tru64 UNIX)
addresses [set of end-user specifications]
allow decnet-internet gateway access [boolean] (Tru64 UNIX)
client [client-id]
data abstraction [message or stream] (Tru64 UNIX)
image name [file-spec]
incoming alias [boolean] (Tru64 UNIX)
incoming osi tsel [hex-string] (OpenVMS)
incoming proxy [boolean]
maximum instances [integer] (Tru64 UNIX)
network priority [integer] (OpenVMS)
node synonym [boolean]
outgoing alias [boolean] (OpenVMS)
outgoingalias name [fullname] (OpenVMS)
outgoing proxy [boolean] (OpenVMS)
programming interface [Phase IV or Phase V] (Tru64 UNIX)
user name [username]
On OpenVMS, the recommended method of modifying session control
application attributes is to run NET$CONFIGURE and choose Option 7.
The configuration information for the applications is then written
to the SYS$MANAGER:NET$APPLICATION_STARTUP.NCL script so the
applications can be re-set on reboot.
If you wish to modify these attributes manually, you may refer
specific command examples in the attribute descriptions.
4 addresses
Default: Empty set Value: Set of end-user specifications
A set of end-user specifications, any one of which, when
specified in the destination name field of an incoming connection
request, causes applications defined by this entity to be
invoked.
You can identify an application with an object name or an object
number. Usually, applications are identified by network object
number 0, but you can optionally assign it a nonzero object number,
in the range from 128 to 255. A nonzero object number can be
specified without an application name. Object numbers 1 through
127 are reserved for use by Compaq. Specific network services
are identified by nonzero object numbers; for example, 27
represents the mail utility.
Examples:
set session control application mail addresses {number=27}
set session control application task addresses {name=task}
4 accept_mode_(Tru64_UNIX)
Default: Immediate Value: Immediate or deferred
If accept mode is immediate, then session control will
automatically accept the connection before activating the
end user. If accept mode is deferred, then it is up to the
program to accept or reject the connection.
4 allow_decnet-internet_gateway_access_(Tru64_UNIX)
Default: False Value: True or false
If true, this application supports gateway access. If the user
name supplied by the incoming connect request contains a @ or
!, the application spawner starts up the application under the
session control DECnet-Internet Gateway user.
4 client
Default: None Value: Entity name
Identifies the name of the local user that will be activated
upon receipt of a connect request containing a destination name
matching one of the values in the destination names attribute.
4 data_abstraction_(Tru64_UNIX)
Default: Message Value: Message or stream
Type of data transfer interface the application will be using;
message type or stream type. The message data abstraction is
identical to the Sequenced-packet socket concept of the Phase IV
session control. When writing applications, you should use the
same data abstraction as that used by the program to which you
connect.
Table Data Abstraction Type Comparison compares Message and
Stream data abstractions.
Table 1-1 Data Abstraction Type Comparison

4 image_name
Default: No image name Value: File specification
File name of a program to be invoked upon receipt of a connection
request containing an address that matches one of the values
contained in the set described by the addresses characteristic.
Example:
set session control application mirror -
image name sys$system:net$mirror.exe
4 incoming_alias_(Tru64_UNIX)
Specifies how a particular application responds to incoming
connect requests directed to the alias node address. If False,
the application does not allow a specified application to receive
incoming connect requests that have been directed to the alias
node address.
4 incoming_osi_tsel_(OpenVMS)
Default: None Value: hex-string
The TSEL for which this image will accept connections. This is
similar to the destination names attribute. However,
applications using this access point for in-connection matching
do not use DNA Session Control protocol.
4 incoming_proxy
Default: True Value: True or false
Specifies whether to honor incoming proxy requests. If this
attribute is set to false, requests to invoke proxies on
incoming requests are ignored. The setting of this characteristic
overrides the setting of the session control incoming proxy
characteristic for the specified application.
Example:
set session control application mail incoming proxy false
4 maximum_instances_(Tru64_UNIX)
Default: 0
Maximum number of simultaneous instances of this application
allowed. If a connect request comes in for this application
while the maximum number of instances exist, the connect request
will be rejected with ObjectTooBusy. A value of 0 indicates no
maximum.
4 network_priority_(OpenVMS)
Default: 0 Value: 0-225
When operating over Connectionless Network Service (CLNS),
indicates network priority encoded in the NPDU (network protocol
data unit) header for all transmitted packets. It can be used by
intermediate systems to assign the packets to queues of
appropriate priority.
4 node_synonym
Default: False Value: True or false
Default form in which the remote node name is passed to the
application.
false The full node name is used.
true The node synonym is used; if no synonym is available,
the full name is used.
Example:
set session control application mail node synonym true
4 outgoing_alias_(OpenVMS)
Default: False Value: True or false
Specifies whether a particular object uses the alias node
identifier in its outgoing connect requests. If false,
the specified object is not allowed to use the alias node
address in its outgoing connect requests.
Example:
set session control application mail outgoing alias true
4 outgoingalias_name_(OpenVMS)
Default: None Value: fullname of alias
Specifies which alias name a particular object uses in its
outgoing connect requests when multiple aliases are in use.
If you do not set an application outgoingalias name and the
application has the outgoing alias set to true, the alias
name for which you set the alias port outgoing default true
is used for outgoing connect requests.
If you define application outgoingalias name, this supersedes
the setting of alias port outgoing default. So if the
application outgoing alias attribute is then set to false to
disable the application outgoingalias name, the local node
name is used.
If neither alias port going default nor application
outgoingalias name is set, the first alias created is used as
the default for the system. If this alias is not enabled,
the local node name is used.
Example:
set session control application mail -
outgoingalias name DEC:.lkg.MyAlias
4 outgoing_proxy_(OpenVMS)
Default: False Value: True or false
Default action to execute when user does not explicitly
specify whether or not to invoke a proxy.
Example:
set session control application 36 outgoing proxy true

Default: Phase IV Value: Phase IV or Phase V
Programming interface used by the DECnet application (socket
interface).
4 user_name
Default: None Data type: Latin1String
Identifies the default account under which the application is to
run. For OpenVMS, if null then system defaults are used to select
the user. The username must be specified in quotes on OpenVMS.

Set of remote end users for whom this proxy entry applies.
An unspecified end user implies all end users on the node
specified in the same record. The record format has two
fields: node, which has a data type of fullname, and
end user, which has a data type of enduserspecification.
4 target_user
Default: None Value: Latin1string
Local user name under which access is granted.
4 type
Default: Explicit Value: Explicit or default
Type of proxy entry: explicit means that the destination
the user requested in the connect request must match the

DTE class is used are not considered when the DTE class is used
for an outgoing call.
If an x25 protocol dte entity has status attribute state set to
running when its name is added to local dtes, you must disable
the DTE entity and reenable it (see the disable x25 protocol dte
and enable x25 protocol dte commands) in order for the DTE to be
considered when this DTE class is used for an outgoing call.
You can specify this characteristic only for DTE classes with

represents the X.25 server that runs on a gateway system. The
X.25 server serves X.25 clients on accessing systems, providing
X.25 access to systems that do not have a direct connection to a
PSDN. The modifiable attributes and their data types (in brackets)
are:
account [latin1string] (OpenVMS)
application [end-user-specification]
destination [fullname] (OpenVMS)
filters [set of simplenames]
node [fullname]
outgoing session template [simplename] (OpenVMS)
password [latin1string]
service nodes [set]
user [latin1string]
4 account_(OpenVMS)
Default: No service/account data Value: Latin1String
Default service or account data to be used when connecting to the
system hosting the X.25 client. The account must be embedded in
quotes.
4 application
Default: 36 Value: End-user-specification
Address information used by the destination Session Control
module to select the X.25 client that will receive the connection
request.
4 destination_(OpenVMS)
Default: No client name Value: Fullname
name
Name of the X.25 client to which a connection is to be made when
delivering a "filtered" call.
4 filters
Default: No default Value: Set of simple names
Set of filters to be used by the server to filter calls for
this X.25 client. Each name is the name of an x25 access filter
entity.
4 node
Default: No node name Value: Fullname
Name of the node that hosts the X.25 client to which connection
is to be made. This characteristic is supported only if the
service nodes characteristic is not supported.
4 outgoing_session_template_(OpenVMS)
Default: Default template Value: Simplename
Transport template to be used by the X.25 server to set up a
session control connection to the X.25 client. The name is the
name of an osi transport template entity.
4 password
Default: No password Value: Latin1String
Default password to be used for verification when connecting
to the system that hosts the X.25 client. You cannot
display this characteristic with the show command. On OpenVMS
the password must be embedded in quotes.
4 service_nodes_(OpenVMS)
Default: Empty set Value: Set of candidate records
Set of nodes that host the x25 client entities to which
connections can be made. Each candidate record consists of a
Rating, which is an integer, and a Node, which is specified as a
fullname.
4 user
Default: No user id Value: Latin1String
Default user identification to be used in access verification
when connecting to the system that hosts the X.25 client. On
OpenVMS, the user id must be embedded in quotes.
3 security_nodes
set [node node-id] x25 server security nodes simple-name ...
Modifies the attribute of an x25 server security nodes entity,
which defines a set of rights identifiers associated with calls
issued by the X.25 Access module at the gateway system. These
rights identifiers are used when making access control checks on
the DTE class specified when a call is made.
The modifiable attributes and their data types (in brackets) are:
nodes [set of fullnames]
rights identifiers [set of simplenames]
4 nodes
Default: No node Value: Set of fullnames
names
DNS full names of accessing systems, or the wildcard full name.
Note, when managing entities on an OpenVMS system, this name must
be a Phase IV node name.
4 rights_identifiers
Default: No rights Value: Set of simplenames
identifiers
Set of rights identifiers to be associated with the set of nodes
named in the nodes characteristic for purposes of access control
to DTE classes at the gateway node.
2 xot_(OpenVMS_Alpha)
set [node node-id] xot maximum connections integer
Modifies the number of X.25 Over TCP/IP (XOT) connections
allowed. Note that each XOT SAP LINK entity is limited to
4095 connections. This Maximum Connections attribute sets the
limit for connections over all existing XOT SAP LINK entities.
The integer must be in the range 1-65535, and the default
value is 256.
Example:
set xot maximum connections 128
SAP is a subentity of the XOT module.
3 sap
set [node node-id] xot sap sap-name ...
Modifies the attributes of a XOT SAP entity, which represents the
point at which the XOT entity gains access to the TCP/IP
environment for the purposes of listening for inbound XOT
connections. The sap-name is a simple name that uniquely
identifies a particular SAP instance. The modifiable attributes
and their data types (in brackets) are:
local IP address [ip-address]
local RFC1613 port number [integer]
By default, XOT's single SAP entity is configured to listen
on all available IP interfaces (as specified by the local IP
address 0.0.0.0). You can create multiple SAP entities, each
listening on a unique IP address. However, if you create
more than one SAP entity, you must assign each entity a
unique IP address; no SAP entity can use the 0.0.0.0 address.
In other words, you may do this:
set xot sap sap-0 -
local ip address 0.0.0.0
or this:
set xot sap sap-0 -
local ip address 123.23.49.235
set xot sap sap-1 -
local ip address 123.23.49.236
but not this:
set xot sap sap-0 -
local ip address 0.0.0.0
set xot sap sap-1 -
local ip address 123.23.49.236
LINK is a subentity of XOT SAP.
4 link
set [node node-id] xot sap sap-name link link-name...
Modifies the attributes of a XOT SAP LINK entity, which
represents a remote system with which XOT is allowed to
communicate. In the case of an inbound XOT connection,
there must be a LINK entity with a matching remote IP address
and a remote port number in order for XOT to accept the
TCP/IP connection. In the case of an outbound connection,
the LINK entity specifies the remote IP address and remote
port number of the system with which to attempt the TCP/IP
connection.
The sap-name and link-name are simple names which uniquely
identify particular SAP and LINK instances. The modifiable
attributes of a XOT SAP LINK entity are (with data types in
brackets):
remote IP address [ip-address]
remote RFC1613 port number [integer]
Examples:
set xot sap sap-0 link link-0 -
remote ip address 125.65.82.34
set xot sap sap-0 link link-0 -
remote rfc1613 port number 1998
5 remote_ip_address
Default: 0.0.0.0 Value: IP address
Specifies the remote IP address of the cooperating
XOT system that implements RFC1613. The IP
address is specified as a numeric address in the
form a.b.c.d. Specify the address 127.0.0.1 for
loopback testing. For more information on TCP/IP
loopback testing, see the TCP/IP Services for
OpenVMS documentation.
5 remote_rfc1613_port_number
Default: 1998 Value: TCP port number
Specifies the TCP port number to use for an outgoing
connection.
The remote system must be listening for inbound XOT
connections on this port. In other words, the
remote system must have a SAP with this port as its
Local RFC1613 Port Number.
4 local_ip_address
Default: 0.0.0.0 Value: IP address
The IP interface (identified by the address) where the SAP
entity will listen. The default of 0.0.0.0 specifies that the
SAP should listen on any available IP interface.
You may choose to create one or more SAP entities to listen on
specific IP interfaces. However, if multiple SAP entities are
in use, then none of them can use the local ip address of
0.0.0.0.
4 local_rfc1613_port_number
Default: 1998 Value: TCP port number
The port number on which the SAP entity will listen for
inbound XOT connections. Compaq strongly recommends that you
use the value 1998 as specified in RFC1613.
