You use the NSCONTROL STOP command to stop the Network Services and the NETCONTROL STOP command to stop the links and transport. You should always stop all Network Services before you stop the network transport.

Stop Network Services


NSCONTROL STOP allows all processes that are currently using the services to end normally before the services are actually terminated. If you need to stop the services immediately and do not wish to wait until current processes complete, use the NSCONTROL ABORT command. Be aware that using this command will cause errors to processes that are currently using the services.

Stop a Single Network Service

To stop a specific Network Service or group of Network Services while the remaining active services remain active, enter the NSCONTROL STOP command followed by an equal sign and a list of the services you wish to stop. For example, to stop Remote File Access for both local and remote users, enter the following command:

NSCONTROL STOP=RFA,RFAL

Stop All Network Services

To stop all Network Services enter the following command:

NSCONTROL STOP

Current active processes that are using the services will be allowed to complete before the services are terminated.

Abort Network Services

To terminate all Network Services regardless of whether or not currently active processes are using the services, enter the following command:

NSCONTROL ABORT

Stop Network Interfaces


Stop a Single Network Interface

Issue the following command to stop a single network interface:

NETCONTROL STOP;NET=NIname

The NIname is the network interface name that you configured through NMMGR. Stop other interfaces as required by entering the command using the appropriate NI names.

Stop All Network Interfaces

When you enter the STOP command with no keywords, all entities of the network transport are terminated. (You must terminate the Network Services before stopping the network transport. You will also need to use the DTCCNTRL command if you have an active host-based X.25 interface.) Enter the following command:

NETCONTROL STOP

Stop a Host-Based X.25 Interface

If the interface you are stopping is a host-based X.25 interface, you must also issue a DTCCNTRL STOP command after you stop the network transport. Enter the commands as shown below:

NSCONTROL STOP

NSCONTROL ABORT

NETCONTROL STOP

DTCCNTRL DTC=dtcname;CARD=cardnumber;FUNC=function

where function is one of the following:
STOPX25

to stop X.25 services;

STOPPADSUP

to stop PAD support services;

STOPBOTH

to stop both X.25 and PAD support services.
