1  PURGE

2  DEVICE
   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

3  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.

3  Qualifier

/ALL

   Deletes requested data for all LAN devices in the LAN permanent
   device database. If you specify a device name, data is deleted for
   all matching devices; for example, EI/ALL deletes data for all EI
   LAN devices.

/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.

/DLL

   /DLL or /MOPDLL

   Deletes MOP downline load settings for each LAN device.

/TEST

   Deletes test settings for each LAN device.

/TRACE

   Deletes driver tracing settings for each LAN device.

3  Example
   LANCP> PURGE DEVICE/ALL

   This command deletes all devices from the LAN permanent device
   database.

2  NODE
   Deletes a node from the LAN permanent node database.

   Requires SYSPRV privilege.

   Format

     PURGE NODE node-name

3  Parameter

node-name

   Specifies the name of a node in the LAN permanent node database.

   A partial node name, accompanied by the /ALL qualifier, selects all
   matching nodes. For example: A to select all nodes starting with A,
   no node name to select all nodes.

3  Qualifier

/ALL

   Deletes all LAN nodes in the LAN permanent node database. If you
   specify a node name, all matching nodes are deleted; for example,
   A/ALL deletes all nodes whose name begins with A.

3  Example
   LANCP> PURGE NODE/ALL

   This command deletes all nodes from the LAN permanent node database.
