VMS Help SET, NETWORK  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    Registers the attributes of a network service.

    Requires SYSNAM (system name) privilege.

    Format

      SET NETWORK  network-service

1 - Parameter

 network-service

    Specifies the name of a network service.

2 - Qualifiers

 2.1 - /ADDRESS

       /ADDRESS=address[es]

    Specifies the network address of the local node.

 2.2 - /CONNECTIONS

       /CONNECTIONS=

    Specifies a command to be executed to display the number of
    network connections.

 2.3 - /COUNTERS

       /COUNTERS=

    Specifies a command to be executed to display the number of
    network counters.

 2.4 - /DATA

       /DATA=

    Specifies a character string provided by the network service
    vendor.

 2.5 - /INTERFACE

       /INTERFACE=

    Specifies the OpenVMS driver for the network service.

 2.6 - /MANUFACTURER

       /MANUFACTURER=

    Specifies the manufacturer of the network service.

 2.7 - /NETWORK_TYPE

       /NETWORK_TYPE=

    Specifies the protocol for the network service.

 2.8 - /NODE

       /NODE=

    Specifies the name of the local node.

 2.9 - /PPPD_CALLOUT

       /PPPD_CALLOUT=image-name

    Specifies the name of the protected shareable image activated
    by PPPD. This image contains the routine PPPD$OPEN_CONNECT,
    which notifies the network service that a new physical transport
    exists that supports PPP. If the image resides in the SYS$SHARE
    directory, enter the file name of the image without the suffix
    (such as, PPPD_CALLOUT instead of PPPD_CALLOUT.EXE); otherwise,
    enter the system logical that identifies the location of the
    image.

 2.10 - /REGISTER

    Defines a new network service.

 2.11 - /REMOVE

    Deletes a network service from the database.

 2.12 - /START

       /START=

    Specifies an image to be executed when you issue the
    START/NETWORK command for the network service.

 2.13 - /STATUS

       /STATUS=

    Specifies a command to be executed to display additional status
    information.

 2.14 - /STOP

       /STOP=

    Specifies an image to be executed when you issue the STOP/NETWORK
    command for the network service.

 2.15 - /UPDATE

    Allows you to modify the specified data for the network service.

3 - Examples

    1.$ SET NETWORK DECnet/OSI -
          /MANUFACTURER= "Digital Equipment Corporation"
          /NODE="GALENA"
          /ADDRESS="19.129"
          /NETWORK_TYPE="DNA V"
          /INTERFACE="net 0"
          /DATA="Router: No"
          /STATUS="mcr ncl show node 0 all"
          /CONNECTIONS="mcr ncl show node 0 session control port * all"
          /COUNTERS="mcr ncl show node 0 session control all counters"
          /START="@sys$startup:net$startup"
          /STOP="@sys$manager:net$shutdown")

      This command adds the network service DECnet-Plus (Phase V) to
      the database, with the specified characteristics.

    2.$ SET NETWORK "TCPIP" /REGISTER-

      /MANUFACTURER="Digital Equipment Corporation"
      /NODE="ipv6.ucx.mars.univers.com"
      /ADDRESS="16.20.207.92"
      /NETWORK_TYPE="TCPIP"
      /STATUS="ucx show service"
      /CONNECTIONS="ucx show device"
      /PPPD_CALLOUT="ucx$pppd_callout"

      This command creates a new TCP/IP network service, adds it
      to the database, and enables the PPPD utility by supplying a
      logical name that identifies the location of the shareable
      image.
