VMS Help LANCP, SET, DEVICE parameters, Qualifiers, /UPDATE  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    Adds LAN devices that are not currently in the LAN volatile
    device database to that database. The initial entry for the
    device uses default values for all parameters. To update the
    volatile database with current information from the permanent
    database, use the SET DEVICE command with the /PERMANENT_DATABASE
    qualifier. You can combine the /UPDATE and /PERMANENT_DATABASE
    qualifiers in a single SET DEVICE command.

    Examples

  1. LANCP> SET DEVICE/CONTENDER/MEDIA=UTP/NOEARLY/SOURCE ICA0

    Enables monitor contention, UTP cable media, source routing and
    disables early token release for Token Ring device ICA0.

  2. LANCP> SET DEVICE/MEDIA=TWI EWB0

    Sets the media type to twisted pair for the second Tulip Ethernet
    device, EWB0.

  3. LANCP> SET DEVICE EXA0/MOPDLL=ENABLE

    Enables MOP downline load service for device EXA0, leaving the
    remaining MOPDLL parameters unchanged.

  4. LANCP> SET DEVICE EXA0/MOPDLL=(ENABLE,EXCLUSIVE,SIZE=1482)

    Enables MOP downline load service for device EXA0, in exclusive
    mode with the data transfer size of 1482 bytes, leaving the
    remaining MOPDLL parameters unchanged.

  5. LANCP> SET DEVICE EXA0/MOPDLL=(ENABLE,NOEXCLUSIVE)
  LANCP> SET DEVICE FXA0/MOPDLL=(ENABLE,EXCL,KNOWN)

    These commands enable LANACP MOP downline load service for:

    o  LAN device EXA0 in nonexclusive mode

    o  LAN device FXB0 in exclusive mode for only known clients
