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.
