Controlling the Network
Step 7: Delete the system name and/or system number from
all NRTs
After the system name or system number have been changed and the system loaded,
this Expand subsystem SCF command should be performed:
DELETE ENTRY $NCP.*
The above command should be performed at every other node in the network to avoid
conflicts in the network routing tables (NRTs) such as duplicate system names or
numbers.
8: Reconnect the nodes to the network
After all nodes in the network have been reset with the SCF DELETE ENTRY $NCP
command, you can safely reconnect the nodes to the network.
Controlling the Network
Network control tasks include:
•
Starting and Stopping Expand Line-Handler Processes and $NCP
•
Stopping and Starting Lines and Paths
•
Switching Primary and Backup Processes
•
Rebalancing Multi-CPU Paths
Starting and Stopping Expand Line-Handler Processes and
$NCP
The SCF interface to the WAN subsystem provides commands to control Expand line-
handler processes and $NCP. You use the WAN subsystem SCF START DEVICE
command to start and the SCF STOP DEVICE command to stop Expand line-handler
processes and $NCP.
Note. The deleted system name and/or system number might appear in the SCF INFO
PROCESS $NCP, LINESET display until the node is reconnected.
