DECnet NCP TRIGGER — VMS 5.4-3

Use the TRIGGER commands to trigger the bootstrap mechanism  of  a
target  node such that the node will load itself.  Use this command to
initiate the loading sequence for  an  unattended  system.

NODE

Use the TRIGGER NODE command to trigger the bootstrap mechanism  of  a
target  node such that the node will load itself.  Use this command to
initiate the loading sequence for  an  unattended  system.

Examples

NODE node-id

identifies the node whose bootstrap is to be triggered.

PHYSICAL ADDRESS

Applies only to nodes on Ethernet circuits.  Specifies the Ethernet
address that the target node currently use to identify itself.
The value is the Ethernet physical address the target node has set for
itself, or, if the target node has not set an Ethernet address, the
HARDWARE ADDRESS parameter if associated with the target node in the
executor node's volatile database.

SERVICE PASSWORD hex-password

identifies the password required to trigger the bootstrap
mechanism on the target node.

VIA circuit-id

identifies the circuit over which the operation is to take
place.


Examples


     NCP>TRIGGER NODE NYC

         This command triggers the bootstrap mechanism on node NYC  to
         initiate a downline load operation.

     NCP>TRIGGER NODE NYC SERVICE PASSWORD F0F0 VIA DMC-5

         This command provides a service password in order to  trigger
         the  bootstrap  mechanism on node NYC and initiate a downline
         load operation over circuit DMC-5.

VIA

Use the TRIGGER VIA command to trigger the bootstrap  mechanism  of  a
target  node such that the node will load itself.  Use this command to
initiate the loading sequence for  an  unattended  system.

This command triggers the target node via the specified circuit.   The
target  node identification is obtained from the volatile database on
the executor node.

SERVICE PASSWORD hex-password

identifies the password required to trigger the bootstrap
mechanism on the target node.


PHYSICAL ADDRESS

Applies only to nodes on Ethernet circuits.  Specifies the Ethernet
address that the target node currently use to identify itself.
The value is the Ethernet physical address the target node has set for
itself, or, if the target node has not set an Ethernet address, the
HARDWARE ADDRESS parameter if associated with the target node in the
executor node's volatile database.  This parameter must be included if
an Ethernet circuit is specified in VIA circuit-id.

VIA circuit-id

identifies the circuit over which the operation is to take
place.

Examples


     NCP>TRIGGER VIA DMC-5

         This command triggers the bootstrap  mechanism  on  the  node
         connected to circuit DMC-5.
