1  –  DEVICE

    Stops activity on a LAN device.

    Requires PHY_IO privilege.

    Format

      STOP DEVICE device-name

1.1  –  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.

1.2  –  Qualifiers (General)

1.2.1    /ALL

    Stops activity on all LAN devices. If you specify a device name,
    all matching LAN devices are selected, for example: E to select all
    Ethernet devices, V for VLAN devices, EW to select all Ethernet
    EW devices.

1.2.2    /TEST

    /LOOP
    /RECEIVE
    /TOGGLE
    /TRANSMIT

    These qualfiers implement test functionality built into LANCP for
    purposes of debug and validation. The test functionality is described
    in a text file on the system, SYS$HELP:LAN_COUNTERS_AND_FUNCTIONS.TXT.

1.2.3    /TRACE

    This command stops tracing on a LAN device, leaving the trace buffer
    intact so it can be displayed by SHOW DEVICE/TRACE commands.

    Note that tracing stops after encountering a stop event. And trace
    data can be read and displayed while tracing continues, although
    the trace data could be overwritten - gaps in the trace data
    sequence numbers would show this.
