Dynamically adds a configured network link to the active network interface.
Syntax
NETCONTROL ADDLINK=linkName; {NET=niName }
{GATE=gatehalfName}
Parameters
- ADDLINK=linkName
Specifies the name of the link to be dynamically added to the
specified active NI. The linkname must be a valid NI link name configured
in the NMMGR Link Selection screen and also in the Network Interface
Links screen under the specified "niname" or "gatehalfname" NI. If
already added, an "ALREADY STARTED" error will occur, or if the linkname
is not valid, a "NOT CONFIGURED" error will occur.
- NET=niName
Specifies the name of an active network interface under which the
specified linkname is configured. Enter any valid NI name from the NMMGR
Network Interface Configuration screen which is not a gateway half. If
this NI is not active, a "NOT STARTED" error will occur.
- GATE=gatehalfName
Specifies the name of an active gateway half network interface under
which the specified linkname is configured. Enter any valid gatehalf NI
name from the NMMGR Network Interface Configuration screen. If this NI is
not active, a "NOT STARTED" error will occur.
Discussion
This command adds an already configured link to an active
network interface without having to first bring down and then restart
the network interface or the entire transport. This can be a link
for a newly-configured node mapping, a link being shared with another subsystem
such as RJE/iX or SNA/iX, or a link being restarted after an earlier
failure due to link errors. Note that some link errors are so serious
that an ADDLINK cannot restore use of the link.
The control process will create a new link driver for the specified link and
bind it to the existing network interface and its network interface protocols.
This function is mainly used with router NI types.
Example
To add the linkname "PSI48" to the active NI "ROUTER1", enter
:NETCONTROL ADDLINK=PSI48; NET=ROUTER1
