Management
4–3
Example
Here is a typical VMS command to establish a session from a VAXstation
3100, using a bridge address of 08-00-2B-01-23-45 and the Ethernet
circuit name SVA-0:
$
MCR NCP CONNECT VIA SVA-0 PHYSICAL ADDRESS 08-00-2B-01-23-45
When you establish the connection, the screen displays the following:
Console connected (press CTRL/D when finished)
Accessing a Bridge Repeatedly
If you need to access a specific bridge repeatedly, you can enter the
Ethernet address for it in the NCP database. This is usually done by
choosing an arbitrary address in area 13. Bridge names in the NCP
database can have a maximum of six characters.
Example:
If you call your bridge DBRG1 on address 13.87 and access it from a
VAX 6400 (Ethernet circuit name BNA-0), you could use the following
commands:
$
NCP
NCP>
DEFINE NODE DBRG1 ADDRESS 13.87 HARDWARE 08-00-2b-01-23-45
SERVICE CIR BNA-0
NCP>
SET NODE DBRG1 ALL
To access the bridge, type:
$
NCP CONNECT NODE DBRG1
Accessing the MOP from ULTRIX
On ULTRIX operating systems, the console carrier is a separate utility
included as part of the MOP option. The option is part of the regular
distribution, but is not selected by default and is not included in the basic
installation. You can install MOP from the original distribution media by
using the setld utility. You must be have superuser privileges to invoke
the console carrier.
After the MOP option is installed, each bridge to be managed must be
given a name and a dummy node number, using the addnode utility. For
example:
#
addnode 13.1 DBRG1
