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.
