Modify the default values for optional parameters.
SET DEFAULT
[ DIRECTORY_SERVICE dir-service ]
[ DISPLAY_MODE display-mode ]
[ NSAP_FORMAT format ]
[ PHASEIV_PREFIX addr-prefix ]
[ REVERSE_DIRECTORY rev-dir-name ]
[ SYNONYM_DIRECTORY syn-dir-name ]
This provides a means to preset the values for commonly used parameters,
such as the reverse address mapping directory name to use for a particular
directory service.
This is particularly useful when done in a DECNET_REGISTER initialization
command file (see "HELP USAGE INITIALIZATION_COMMAND_FILE").
1 – DEFAULT
This keywork is required. It indicates that default parameter values are being modified. See the SET topic for a general description of the SET DEFAULT command.
2 – DIRECTORY_SERVICE
This specifies the directory service to use as the default, when the
command does not specify a directory service.
DIRECTORY_SERVICE dir-service
The service must be one of:
DIRECTORY_SERVICE LOCAL
DIRECTORY_SERVICE DECDNS
DIRECTORY_SERVICE PHASEIV
If other parameters are specified in the command, this also determines
the directory service that those additional default value parameters
apply to. For example:
SET DEFAULT DIRECTORY_SERVICE DECdns REVERSE_DIR .DNA_BackTranslation
3 – DISPLAY_MODE
This specifies the default display mode to use when the mode is not
explicitly requested in the command. The following display modes are
provided.
DISPLAY_MODE NAMES Display only the names
DISPLAY_MODE BRIEF Display names and addresses
DISPLAY_MODE FULL Display and error check all information
For example:
SET DEFAULT DISPLAY_MODE FULL
See the SHOW DISPLAY-MODE topic for more information on each mode.
4 – NSAP_FORMAT
This specifies the default NSAP display format to use when the format is
not explicitly requested in the command. The following display formats
are provided.
NSAP_FORMAT DNA Use DNA format
NSAP_FORMAT OSI Use OSI format
For example:
SET DEFAULT NSAP_FORMAT OSI
See the SHOW NSAP_FORMAT topic for more information on these display
formats.
5 – PHASEIV_PREFIX
This specifies the default AFI, IDI, and preDSP to use when constructing
an NSAP from a Phase IV address. This is used when a Phase IV address
is specified in an address tower, and an explicit Phase IV prefix is not
specified.
PHASEIV_PREFIX addr-prefix
For example:
SET DEFAULT PHASEIV_PREFIX 39:840:800AB738
See the PHASE_IV_PREFIXES topic for details about Phase IV prefix
values.
6 – REVERSE_DIRECTORY
This specifies the default base directory or name entry to use for the
reverse address mapping links to the node name (also called the back
translation links).
REVERSE_DIRECTORY rev-dir-name
The links under this directory are used to map NSAP values to their
respective node names. These directories are used only for the DECdns
directory service.
For example:
SET DEFAULT DIRECTORY_SERVICE DECDNS REVERSE_DIR .DNA_BackTranslation
For more information, please refer to the NAMES_AND_DIRECTORIES topic.
7 – SYNONYM_DIRECTORY
This specifies the default base directory or name entry to use for the
synonym mapping link to the node name.
SYNONYM_DIRECTORY syn-dir-name
The links under this directory are used to map Phase IV synonyms to
their respective node names. These directories are used only for the
DECdns directory service.
For example:
SET DEFAULT DIRECTORY_SERVICE DECDNS SYNONYM_DIR .DNA_NodeSynonym
For more information, please refer to the NAMES_AND_DIRECTORIES topic.
