This optional parameter allows you to specify the node to start at when
determining a set of communication paths.
You may enter either:
FROM = node-name
FROM = osi-net
FROM = osi-area
FROM = ph4-addr
FROM = ph4-area
where:
node-name identifies the starting node using either the node's full
DECdns name or its Phase IV synonym name.
For example ".USA.Boston" or "BOSTON".
osi-net identifies the starting node using one of the node's network
entity titles (NETs). This may be entered in the format:
afi:idi:predsp-locarea:nodeid:sel
For example "43:15084745192:00-0C:aa-00-04-00-50-30:00".
osi-area identifies the starting node using one of the node's
network areas. In this case, the first node found in
the area becomes the starting node. This may be entered
in the format:
afi:idi:predsp-locarea
For example "43:15084745192:00-0C".
ph4-addr identifies the starting node using the node's Phase IV
network address. This may be entered in the format:
area.nodeid
For example "12.102".
ph4-area identifies the starting node using the node's Phase IV
network area. In this case, the first node found in the
area becomes the starting node. This may be entered in
the format:
area.*
For example "12.*".
If FROM is not specified, the starting node is assumed to be the local
node. If TO is not specified, the terminating node is assumed to be
the local node. You must specify at least one of these (they cannot
both be defaulted).
Example: SHOW PATH FROM .USA.BOSTON TO .FR.CANNES
SHOW PATH FROM 43:15084745192:00-0C:AA-00-04-00-50-30:00
