Deletes device data from the LAN permanent device database.

    Requires SYSPRV privilege.

    If you don't select particular data to delete via qualifier, the entire
    device entry is deleted.

    Format

      PURGE DEVICE device-name

1  –  Parameter

 device-name

    Specifies the LAN device name. The device name has the form ddcu, where
    dd is the device identifier, c is the controller designation, and u is
    the unit number.

    LAN devices are specified as the name of the template device, which is
    unit 0. For example, the first EI Ethernet device is specified as EIA0,
    the second as EIB0, and so on. You can specify the first EI device, for
    example, as EIA, EIA0, or EIA0:.

    A partial device name, accompanied by the /ALL qualifier, selects all
    matching devices. For example: E to select all Ethernet devices, V for
    VLAN devices, EI for Ethernet EI devices, no device name to select
    all LAN devices.

2  –  Qualifier

2.1    /ALL

    Deletes requested data for all LAN devices in the LAN permanent
    device database. If you specify a device name, data is deleted for

    LAN devices.

2.2    /CHARACTERISTICS

    /CHARACTERISTICS or /PARAMETERS

    Deletes device characteristics settings for each LAN device, such
    as speed, duplex mode, and other device parameters.

    For LAN Failover devices, clears failover settings.

2.3    /DLL

    /DLL or /MOPDLL

    Deletes MOP downline load settings for each LAN device.

2.4    /TEST

    Deletes test settings for each LAN device.

2.5    /TRACE

    Deletes driver tracing settings for each LAN device.
