ALTER Command
Zxxx-IP
is a Boolean variable that specifies whether the succeeding field is to be
altered, where xxx specifies the attribute field. The possible values are:
ZSPI-VAL-TRUE
indicates that the succeeding attribute field is to be altered.
ZSPI-VAL-FALSE
indicates that the succeeding attribute field is not to be altered.
ZIP-ADDR
is a 32-bit integer that specifies the address of the subnet or the loopback
address. Either value is specified as an IP address. The conventional loopback
address (which is used for testing) is 127.1.
ZSUBNET-MASK
is a 32-bit integer that specifies the subnet mask to be used with this subnet. A
subnet mask identifies which part of the IP local address represents the subnet
number and which part represents the host ID. If bits in the subnet mask are
set to 1, the corresponding bits in the IP address are to be part of the network
(and subnet) address. If bits in the subnet mask are set to 0, the corresponding
bits in the IP address are to be part of the host ID (that is, that portion of the
local address masked with 1s identifies the subnet, and the remainder of the
local address uniquely identifies a host connected to the subnet). For further
details on subnet addressing, subnet masking, and the various classes of IP
addresses, see the TCP/IP Configuration and Management Manual.
ZSU-NAME
is the subdevice name. Previously, the SUNAME had to be set using a TACL
PARAM command before the subnet could be added using SCF. With this
RVU, you cannot use PARAM commands in the TACL environment to specify
SUNAME or X25ADDR attributes for TCP/IP. The SUNAME attribute is valid
only for TYPE X25 subnets.
ZUSE-IRDP
is a Boolean variable that specifies whether the subnet should enable its router
discovery interface. The default is OFF. Possible values are:
ZSPI-VAL-TRUE
indicates that the router discovery interface is to be enabled.
ZSPI-VAL-FALSE
indicates that the router discovery interface is not to be enabled.
