1  –  DEVICE

    Enters a device into the LAN permanent device database or
    modifies an existing entry. Requires SYSPRV privilege.

                                QUALIFIERS

       See the SET DEVICE command for a list of qualifiers and
       the description of each. Except where noted, the only
       difference is that DEFINE DEVICE applies to entries in
       the LAN permanent device database rather than the volatile
       device database.

    Format

      DEFINE DEVICE  device-name

1.1  –  Parameter

 device-name

    Supplies the name of a device to be added to the LAN permanent
    device database or an entry to be modified. The device name has
    the form ddcu where dd is the device code, c is the controller
    designation, and u is the unit number. LAN devices are specified
    as the name of the template device, which is unit 0; for example,
    the first PCI Ethernet device is specified as EWA0, the second as
    EWB0.

1.2  –  Examples

    1.LANCP> DEFINE DEVICE EXA0/MOPDLL=(ENABLE,EXCLUSIVE)

      This command defines LAN device EXA0 to enable LANACP MOP
      downline load service in exclusive mode. The setting of the
      KNOWNCLIENTSONLY and SIZE characteristics are not changed. If
      the device entry does not currently exist in the LAN permanent
      device database, these settings are set to the defaults.

    2.LANCP> DEFINE DEVICE/ALL/MOPDLL=NOEXCLUSIVE

      This command sets all LAN devices defined in the LAN permanent
      device database to nonexclusive mode for LANACP MOP downline
      load service.

    3.LANCP> DEFINE DEVICE/ALL/UPDATE/VOLATILE_DATABASE

      This command enters all Ethernet devices into the LAN permanent
      device database and updates the entry to include the current
      parameter values.

2  –  NODE

    Enters a node into the LAN permanent node database or modifies an
    existing entry. Requires SYSPRV privilege.

                                QUALIFIERS

       See the SET NODE command for a list of qualifiers and the
       description of each. Except where noted, the only difference
       is that DEFINE NODE applies to entries in the LAN permanent
       node database rather than the volatile node database.

    Format

      DEFINE NODE  node-name

2.1  –  Parameter

 node-name

    Supplies the name of a node to be added to the LAN permanent node
    database or an entry to be modified. Typically, the node name is
    the same as that given in the system parameter SCSNODE, but it
    does not need to be. The node name is limited to 63 characters in
    length.

2.2  –  Examples

    1.LANCP> DEFINE NODE GALAXY/ADDRESS=08-00-2B-11-22-33 -
                        /FILE=APB.EXE -
                        /ROOT=$64$DIA14:<SYS10.> -
                        /BOOT_TYPE=ALPHA_SATELLITE

      This command sets up node GALAXY for booting as an Alpha
      satellite into an OpenVMS Cluster.

      The APB.EXE file is actually located on $64$DIA14:
      <SYS10.SYSCOMMON.SYSEXE>. Note that the <SYSCOMMON.SYSEXE> is
      supplied by the LANACP LAN Server process and is not included
      in the root definition.

    2.LANCP> DEFINE NODE CALPAL/ADDRESS=08-00-2B-11-22-33 -
                        /FILE=APB_061.EXE

      This command sets up node CALPAL for booting an InfoServer
      image. It defines the file that should be loaded when a load
      request without a file name is received from node CALPAL.

      Because the file does not include a directory specification,
      the logical name LAN$DLL defines where to locate the file. You
      could give directory specification using the file name or by
      using the /ROOT qualifier.

      Note that specifying the file name explicitly in the boot
      command overrides the file name specified in the node database
      entry.
