Using Node Manager
This chapter describes the use of Node Manager software. Each of the available commands is described, and examples of command entry and responses are provided.
Caution There is no security provided by the Node Manager software other than what is available through the RTE"A Operating System. Users of Node Manager soft" ware have access to commands that can cause communication failure between nodes, and can render network services inoperative. Limited and controlled access to Node Manager software is recommended.
Parameter Notation
The various parameters used in Node Manager software command runstrings are described in the discussions following each command. Node Manager software does not differentiate between lowercase and uppercase characters.
Brackets (•[ ]") are used to indicate optional parameters. Optional parameters may be omitted, and default values will be used. In many cases, brackets are embedded within other brackets to indicate that placeholders (commas) are needed.
For example,
[,[option][,LU#]]
indicates that if LU# is omitted, the comma preceding it is not needed. If LU# is included while option is omitted, LU# must be preceded by two commas (,,LU#) to hold the place of option. In this case, option may be referred to as a NULL parameter.
Note that user entries are typically indicated after the CI> or NM> prompts. <RETURN> indicates a carriage return after the user entry. For example:
CI> NM<RETURN>
