rtsvc (routing_service) - set or display internet routing service.
usage: rtsvc [-device dev-name [dev-number] [-route|-noroute|-off]
[-net net_id] [-user nn]]
DESCRIPTION
rtsvc displays or alters the characteristics of a network port. rtsvc is
used in Domain internets. You must be logged on to the node you wish to
control in order to use rtsvc.
For complete information on rtsvc, see Managing Domain Routing and
Domain/OS in an Internet.
OPTIONS
If no options are specified, rtsvc displays the characteristics of every
active network. If you specify any other options, you must specify the
type of network controller by using a -device command-line option.
You may use only one -device option on any command line:
-dev[ice dev-name [dev-number]
Specify the network device type: RING, IIC, or USER (for
EtherBridge routers). The device number applies only to USER
devices. You may use the name ETHERBRIDGE in place of USER if
you prefer. The dev-number option applies only to USER
networks, and is required. Find the device number by using
rtsvc without command line options (as shown in the examples).
Earlier versions of the rtsvc command used a different
command-line syntax for specifying network devices. The old
command lines still work, but you should start using the new
-device command lines as soon as possible. Future versions of
rtsvc will not accept the older command lines.
This option changes the network ID of any network port:
-net net_id
Assign the port a hexadecimal network ID number.
Note: If you use this option to change the network ID of a port
on an active router, other nodes on the network can stop
communicating with each other. Use this option only as
directed in Managing Domain Routing and Domain/OS in an
Internet. You can specify only one of the following options
at a time:
-route Allow routing service to or from the port.
-noroute Allow normal Domain/OS requests but no routing service.
-off Do not allow Domain/OS requests or routing service.
-user nn Set an EtherBridge network. The value is not changed until the
routing node is rebooted or the routing process is stopped and
restarted.
EXAMPLES
$ /etc/rtsvc -device iic -net 007302ED -route
Assign a network ID to the Interphase controller and allow internet
routing at that port.
$ /etc/rtsvc -dev ring -noroute
Stop internet routing through the ring port, but allow normal Domain/OS
is requests for paging, file service, etc. Do not change the node's
network ID:
$ /etc/rtsvc
Display the networks attached to this node.
Controller Net ID Service offered
================== ======== ====================
RING 76A0 Own traffic only
USER 46 768C Port not open
The node in the last example touches two networks: a Domain ring and an
ETHERNET, via the EtherBridge product. You need the device number
information ("46") from this display in order to turn on routing at the
EtherBridge network. Use the device number as shown here:
$ /etc/rtsvc -dev user 46 -route
"46" is the device number.
