Start Software Loopback
Issue the following command (NM capability required) to start software
loopback:
NETCONTROL START;NET=loopbackNIname
This starts up the control process, the transport, and software loopback.
Note: when you use guided NMMGR to create any NI, a loopback
network interface (whose loopbackNIname is LOOP) is automatically
generated. The loopback NI must be started if you wish to perform local
loopbacks or to DSLINE to the local node, also some ARPA services need
loopback to be started.
Start a Link
Issue the following command (NM capability required) to start a link:
NETCONTROL START;NET=NIname
This starts the link identified by the NI name. (If no previous
NETCONTROL START command was issued, then the control process and
transport are also started.) The NIname is the network interface (NI)
name that you supplied during NS configuration. You can start the link
before loopback if you want. Start other links as needed.
Start a Host-Based X.25 Link
If your network includes X.25 links and you are using host-based
network management, you will need to use the DTCCNTRL command
before you issue the NETCONTROL START command. DTCCNTRL starts
X.25 and PAD support for the DTC/X.25 Network Access card. Issue the
following command (System Operator capability required):
DTCCNTRL DTC=dtcname;CARD=cardnumber;FUNC=function
where function is one of the following:
STARTX25 to start X.25 services;
STARTPADSUP to start PAD support services;
STARTBOTH to start both X.25 and PAD support services.
For more information on starting host-based X.25 links as well as other
uses of the DTCCNTRL command, see Configuring and Managing
Host-Based X.25 Links.
