A MOP Circuit entity is a data link circuit on which MOP services are available. The status attribute functions specifies the services enabled on the circuit.
1 – character
KNOWN CLIENTS ONLY
Default: False Value: Boolean
Specifies whether MOP attempts to service load requests from remote
systems which do not have a corresponding client entity. Some network
servers are designed to request specific software by name, and in such
a case there is no need for a client entity to exist. By default, MOP
tries to process requests for named software from unknown clients. Set
this attribute to true if you wish MOP to ignore such requests.
LINK NAME
Default: No Name Value: Data Link entity name
Name of a station entity in the Data Link layer module indicated by
the type characteristic. This name is passed to the Data Link layer
module when MOP opens a portal for the circuit.
RETRANSMIT TIMER
Default: 4 Value: 1-30
Time, in seconds, to wait for a response before retransmitting a MOP
protocol message.
TYPE
Specifies the circuit type. This characteristic is set when the
circuit is created see the create command. The possible types are
CSMA-CD, FDDI, HDLC OSF/1 loop only, DDCMP OpenVMS only, and LAPB
OpenVMS only. You cannot modify this characteristic.
2 – counters
DUMP REQUESTS COMPLETED
Number of dump service requests that completed successfully.
FAILED DUMP REQUESTS
Number of dump service requests that could not be completed.
FAILED LOAD REQUESTS
Number of load service requests that could not be completed.
LOAD REQUESTS COMPLETED
Number of load service requests that completed successfully.
UNRECOGNIZED DUMP CLIENTS
Number of dump service requests that could not be processed because a
required client database entry could not be found.
UNRECOGNIZED LOAD CLIENTS
Number of load service requests that could not be processed because a
required client database entry could not be found.
3 – status
