Purges an X.25 virtual circuit address key from the network directory and the configuration file.

Syntax


  PURGEVC [filename]

Parameters

filename

The name of a text file that contains X.25 address information for each remote node to be deleted from the configuration file and directory. The format for the file name is:

filename[.groupname[.accountname]]

A file lockword may not be specified. The contents of the file must be formatted as described below.

Description

PURGEVC removes an address key from both the local network directory and the configuration file. If there are multiple occurrences of the same address key under a single NI, all occurrences are purged. The directory node associated with the address key to be purged will be purged itself if it contains no other addresses.

The directory and configuration files must be opened either via the Open Configuration/Directory File screen or via the OPENDIR and OPENCONF maintenance mode command before ADDVC is invoked.

PURGEVC can be run interactively, by entering maintenance mode from screen mode and typing the command, or it can be run from a batch job.

When PURGEVC is used interactively and no filename is specified, the user is prompted to enter address parameters for each remote node. When PURGEVC is run interactively and a filename is specified, or when the command is run from a job, entries must be made in the following format:

nodename[,] address key[,] NI name [;]

The description of each address key parameter is as follows:
nodename

The name of a node for which the address key is to be purged. The format is:

nodename.domain.organization

Each of the three names may be from one to sixteen characters long, must begin with a letter, and may contain letters, digits, underscores, or dashes.

address key

The name tag used to relate a node name and IP address from the network directory with a switched or permanent virtual circuit address configured under an X.25 NI in the local configuration file. The name may contain a maximum of eight alphanumeric characters.

NI name

The network interface name. The name of the local X.25 NI, (configured under the path NETXPORT.NI). The name may contain a maximum of eight alphanumeric characters.

Example

To purge a virtual circuit associated with the NI named X25 for the node named NODE1.XLNET.ACCTG: 

  NMMGR> OPENCONF NMCONFIG
  NMMGR> OPENDIR NSDIR.NET.SYS
  NMMGR> PURGEVC
  Enter the node name (or press return to exit):
  PURGEVC> NODE1.XLNET.ACCTG
  Enter address key:
  PURGEVC> NODE1
  Enter NI name:
  PURGEVC> X25
  Address key NODE1 deleted.
  Enter node name (or press return to exit):
  NMMGR>
