Step 5: Start the Path-Logical Device

To start the path-logical device, use the WAN subsystem SCF START DEVICE

command. When you use this command on the path-logical device, the line-logical

devices associated with the path are also started. The command syntax is as follows:

$ZZWAN.#device_name

specifies, via the WAN subsystem, the path-logical device name or a line-logical

device name.

This command creates a process for the specified path-logical device or line-logical

device and allocates one logical device (LDEV) number for the logical-path device and

one LDEV number for each logical-line device.

Step 6: Start the Lines

To start all the lines in the multi-line path, use the Expand subsystem SCF START

PATH command. The command syntax is as follows:

device_name

is the path-logical device name.

The successful completion of this command leaves the path and all the lines in the

path in the STARTED state.

Starting Specific Lines

To start specific lines in a multi-line path, use the Expand subsystem SCF START LINE

command. The command syntax is as follows:

device_name

is the line-logical device name.

The successful completion of this command leaves the specified line and its

associated path in the STARTED state. Other lines in the multi-line path are not

started.

START DEVICE $ZZWAN.#device_name

START PATH $device_name

START LINE $device_name
