In Example 1, we first read the Multicast Addresses configured on the LANIC card whose Station Address is 08"00"09"00"02"5A. Initially there are four Multicast Addresses configured.
Next, the Multicast Address F3"00"09"00"02"03 is added using the IM command. A message is returned verifying the added address.
Finally, an RC command is repeated. Note that, with the added address, there are five Multicast Addresses configured.
Example 2. Adding an Invalid Multicast Address

error 1
In Example 2, the least significant bit of the most significant byte is •0" reflecting an even valued byte. This address is not a valid group (that is, Multicast) address, and the Node Manager interface returns the command entry error message. (See Chapter 2 for more information on address field format.)
Delete Multicast Address Command (DM)This command is used to delete a Multicast Address configured on the LANIC card. In addition, the driver's copy of the Multicast Address stored in the driver's IFT (Interface Table) extension area is also erased.
The syntax of this command is:
DM,[ADR],MulticastAddress[,LU#]
where: |
|
ADR | This is the •target" Station Address, that is, the node from which a |
| Multicast Address will be deleted. It is entered as 6 pairs of hexadecimal |
| digits separated by hyphens. See Table 5"1 for default ADR addresses. |
MulticastAddress | This is the 6"byte Multicast Address which is being deleted from the |
| LANIC card's Multicast Address list. The address specified must conform |
| to the IEEE 802.3 standard for Multicast Addresses. This parameter is |
| required and entered as 6 pairs of hexadecimal digits separated by hyphens |
| (see examples below). |
LU# | This is the Logical Unit number of the LANIC card through which the |
| command is transmitted and from which a response is received. It is a |
| number in the range 2 to 255 (decimal) established during system |
| generation; hence, it always applies to a local LANIC card. See Table 5"1 |
| for default values. |
