The Configuration File Editor (CFE) is a DECnet utility used to modify the permanent node data base (CETAB.MAC). HELP is available for the following commands: EXIT ..................... Describes how to exit CFE KILL ..................... Describes how to kill an edit DEFINE ................... Describes how to define parameters LIST ..................... Describes how to list the CETAB file PURGE .................... Describes how to delete a definition Most CFE commands operate on network components. Component types include: EXECUTOR LINE NODE PROCESS LOGGING OBJECT SYSTEM CFE will prompt for missing parameters when a partially complete command line has been entered. In response to these prompts, you may type "ESCAPE" for a brief description of what may be entered at that point. For more help use: HELP command HELP component-type 1 KILL The KILL command terminates the editing session without updating the CETAB file or deleting the previous (input) file. 1 EXECUTOR The executor is the local node. It is specified in either of the equivalent forms: EXECUTOR NODE executor-node-id For more information use: HELP DEFINE EXECUTOR HELP LIST EXECUTOR 1 LINE A line is a hardware communications path. They are specified in the forms: LINE line-id - a specific line or group of lines. KNOWN LINES - all lines known to the executor. A line identification is a string of 4-16 characters in one of the forms: device-controller device-controller-unit device-controller.tributary device-controller-unit.tributary Device is an alphabetic device mnemonic, such as DMC, DA, or KDZ. Controller is the decimal device controller number. Unit is the decimal unit on the controller. It is allowed only if the device is multiplexed. Tributary is the decimal logical tributary number. It is allowed only if the line is multipoint. Controller, unit, and/or tributary may be replaced with an asterisk (*) as a wild card to indicate all known values in that position. A wild card cannot be used to the left of a specific number in a line identification. For more help use: HELP DEFINE LINE HELP LIST LINE 1 LOGGING MONITOR A logging component is a sink (or destination) for logging information. They are specified in the form: LOGGING sink-type - for a specific logging sink type. KNOWN LOGGING - for all sink types known to the executor. The only logging sink type known to DECnet-11M/S is MONITOR. For more help use: HELP DEFINE LOGGING HELP LIST LOGGING 1 NODE A node is a network system that can support logical links. They are specified in the forms: NODE node-id - a specific node. KNOWN NODES - all nodes seen by the executor as reachable or having a name. A node identification is either a node name or a node address. A node name is a string of 1-6 alphanumeric characters, containing at least one alphabetic character. A node address is the guarenteed network-wide unique identification of a node and is a decimal number in the range 1-32767. In most cases, node addresses and names may be used interchangably. For more help use: HELP DEFINE NODE HELP LIST NODE HELP PURGE NODE 1 OBJECT An object is a network addressable program. They are specified in the forms: OBJECT object-type - a specific object. KNOWN OBJECTS - all objects known to the executor. An object type is a decimal number in the range 0-255. For more help use: HELP DEFINE OBJECT HELP LIST OBJECT HELP PURGE OBJECT 1 PROCESS A process is a control program that operates in the network system (the Communications Executive). They are specified in the forms: PROCESS process-name - a specific process. KNOWN PROCESSES - all processes known to the executor. A process name is 1 to 3 alphabetic characters. For more help use: HELP DEFINE PROCESS HELP LIST PROCESS 1 SYSTEM The system is the network operating environment, known as the Communications Executive. It is specified in the form: SYSTEM 1 PURGE The format of the PURGE command is: PURGE component component-options Component types are: NODE OBJECT The only component option is ALL. For more help use: HELP component-type HELP PURGE component-type 2 NODE Use the PURGE NODE ALL command to remove a node name entry from the executor. The format is: PURGE NODE node-id ALL PURGE KNOWN NODES ALL This command will remove the node name from the table. 2 OBJECT Use the PURGE OBJECT command to remove an object from the object table. The format is: PURGE OBJECT object-type ALL PURGE KNOWN OBJECTS ALL For more help use: HELP OBJECT 1 EXIT EXIT simply exits CFE. It is equivalent to a ^Z. 1 DEFINE @LB:[1,2]CFEDEF.HLP 1 LIST @LB:[1,2]CFELIS.HLP 1 CFE> Commands are: DEFINE HELP PURGE EXIT LIST Use the HELP command to obtain complete information. 1 Active 2 polling 3 ratio: A decimal number in the range 1-255. 1 Address: A decimal node address in the range 1 to the maximum address for the executor. 1 Block 2 extension: A decimal number in the range 1 to 128. 1 Buffer 2 option: Options are: SIZE MINIMUM 1 Byte 2 extension: A decimal number in the range 1 to 4096. 1 Purge 2 component: Component types are: KNOWN NODES KNOWN OBJECTS NODE node-id OBJECT object-type 1 Copies: Options are SINGLE or a decimal number in the range 1-64. 1 Cost: A decimal number in the range 1-25. 1 Component 2 type: Options may be: LOGGING OBJECTS PROCESSES LINES NODES 1 Control 2 buffer 3 count: A decimal number in the range 4 to 200. 2 option: The only option is BUFFERS. 1 CSR 2 address: An octal number in the range 160000-177776. 1 Dead 2 polling 3 ratio: A decimal number in the range 1-255. 1 Define 2 component: Options are: EXECUTOR KNOWN PROCESSES NODE KNOWN LINES LINE PROCESS KNOWN OBJECTS LOGGING MONITOR SYSTEM 2 line 3 options: Options are: CONTROLLER CSR MULTIPOINT DEAD TRIBUTARY COST PRIORITY UNIT CSR DUPLEX SPEED URM MULTIPOINT ACTIVE STATE VECTOR 2 logging 3 options: The only option is STATE. 2 node 3 options: Options are: ADDRESS or NAME. 2 object 3 options: Options are: COPIES, NAME, USER or VERIFICATION. 2 process 3 options: Options are: STATE, MAXIMUM CONTROLLERS or MAXIMUM LINES. 1 Duplex: Options are: FULL or HALF. 1 Executor 2 options: Options are: ADDRESS MAXIMUM ADDRESS MAXIMUM LINKS HOST MAXIMUM COST MAXIMUM NODE COUNTERS NAME IDENTIFICATION MAXIMUM HOPS VERIFICATION 1 Host 2 node 3 identification: A node name or address. 1 Hops: A decimal number in the range 1 to 1023. 1 Large 2 buffer 3 count: A decimal number in the range 4 to 200. 3 size: A decimal number in the range 192 to 4032. 2 option: The only option is BUFFER[S] 1 Line 2 identification: A line identification in the form device-controller[-unit][.tributary].
