Note that this command does not delete entries in the MCAST.TXT file associated with the target node. If a node's MCAST.TXT file requires updating, the editor must be used.

DM Command Examples

The following examples illustrate the use of the Delete Multicast Address (DM) command.

Example 1. Deleting a Multicast Address

NM> DM,08-00-09-00-02-5A,F3-00-09-00-02-03<RETURN>

Delete Parameter on node

 

08-00-09-00-02-5A....

Multicast Address deleted

F3-00-09-00-02-03

NM> RC,08-00-09-00-02-5A,2<RETURN>

 

Read 802.3 Link Config of node

08-00-09-00-02-5A....

Multicast Address List

 

 

 

FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-09

FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-0E

FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-10

FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-12

 

 

 

NM>

 

 

 

Example 1 deletes the Multicast Address F3"00"09"00"02"03 previously configured on the node, as verified by the returned comment. This is confirmed with an RC command to read the Multicast Addresses now configured.

Example 2. Deleting a Non"existent Multicast Address

NM> DM,08-00-09-00-02-5A,F3-00-09-00-02-03<RETURN>

Delete Parameter on node08-00-09-00-02-5A....[failed]

ERROR: LE008 REPORTING NODE ADR:08000900025A SAP: F8 Multicast Address does not exist

NM>

Once the Multicast Address was deleted by Example 1, Example 2 shows that attempting to again delete this Multicast Address when it is not configured on the node results in a Link Error (see Appendix A).
