The LANACP Server process provides the following services:

    o  Maintenance of the LAN volatile node database

    o  Maintenance of the LAN volatile device database

    o  MOP downline load

    To start the LANACP LAN Server process, type
    @SYS$STARTUP:LAN$STARTUP at the DCL prompt, or include this line
    in the SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM command file to start LANACP
    automatically at system startup.

    The following example shows the command line as it appears in
    SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM:

    $!
    $! To start the LANACP LAN server application, remove the comment delimiter
    $! from the command line below.
    $!
    $! @SYS$STARTUP:LAN$STARTUP
    $!

    To stop the LANACP LAN Server process, enter the SET ACP/STOP
    command at the LANCP utility prompt.

    LAN$NODE_DATABASE        Defines the name of the LAN permanent

                             DATABASE.DAT.

    LAN$DEVICE_DATABASE      Defines the name of the LAN
                             permanent device database. By
                             default, this is defined as
                             SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSEXE]LAN$DEVICE_
                             DATABASE.DAT.

    LAN$ACP                  Defines the name of the LANACP LAN
                             Server process log file, containing

                             permanent device and node databases,
                             and load request and load status
