Entering SCF Commands

You start SCF interactively with the following TACL command:

1>SCF

It is seldom necessary to specify SCF RUN parameters because the default values are

appropriate for most situations. For a more detailed description of the TACL RUN

command parameters that apply to SCF, refer to the SCF Reference Manual for G-

Series RVUs or the SCF Reference Manual for H-Series RVUs.

At the beginning of an SCF session, SCF displays its product banner, which includes

the product name, product number, version number, RVU date, and copyright

statement.

SCF waits for a command, followed by a carriage return. After the command has been

received and processed, SCF displays its prompt for the next command.

An SCF command always begins with a keyword identifying the command (such as

ADD, ABORT, or ALTER).

The keyword is followed by the object specifier, consisting of the object type and the

object name, as in the following example:

1-> ABORT SUBNET $ZTC0.#SN1

If additional attribute specifiers are required to define characteristics of the object, the

object name is followed by a comma and the attribute name and value, as in the

following example:

1-> ALTER PROCESS $ZTC0, DELAYACKS OFF

You can enter multiple SCF commands at a single prompt by separating the

commands with semicolons, as in the following example:

1-> ASSUME PROCESS $ZTC0;ALTER, HOSTNAME "slugo1"

When processing a command line that contains more than one command, SCF

executes the commands one at a time from left to right. If an error occurs, SCF

displays the appropriate error message and ignores the rest of the line.

You can also continue a command that starts on one line onto a second line by

terminating the first line with an ampersand (&). SCF prompts for additional input

before executing the command, as in the following example:

1-> ADD SUBNET $ZTC0.#SN1, TYPE ETHERNET, &

1-> DEVICENAME LAN01, IPADDRESS 120.0.0.1

Note. The SEL and SUM options, which apply to several of the SCF commands when used

with other communications subsystems, cannot be used with the NonStop TCP/IP subsystem.
