START Command
\NODEB. The value in parentheses (00003 ms) indicates that the round-trip time
for this probe was 3 milliseconds.
7 \NODEQ - * (00003 ms)
indicates that the probe was made from \NODEA to \NODEQ. The list begins with
\NODEQ and ends at the system from which the probe was made, indicated by the
asterisk *. The connection is direct; there is no system in between. The value in
parentheses (00003 ms) indicates that the round-trip time for this probe was
3 milliseconds.
START Command
The START command initiates the operation of a line or path. The successful
completion of the START command leaves the line or path in the STARTED state.
START is a sensitive command.
The START command has the following syntax:
line-name | path-name
is the name of the line or path to be started.
Considerations
•
If PATH is the object type, all lines associated with the path are started.
•
If LINE is the object type, the line is started.
•
If the communications line interface processor (CLIP) is in the boot state, the CLIP
firmware is downloaded.
•
The nonerror completion of the START command indicates only that the
subsystem was able to initiate processing for the START operation. It does not
indicate that the START operation completed successfully.
•
You can start several lines or paths with a single START command by specifying
multiple LINE or PATH objects using parentheses as follows:
-> LINE ( line-name , line-name [ , line-name ] ... )
-> PATH ( path-name , path-name [ , path-name ] ... )
Note. The preceding display shows that only two systems, \NODEB and \NODEQ, are
connected directly to the local system (\NODEA). This display also shows that all systems
except \NODEQ are connected to the local system (\NODEA) through \NODEB.
START { PATH path-name | LINE line-name }
