1  –  DEVICE

    Deletes device data from the LAN permanent device database.
    Requires SYSPRV privilege.

    Format

      PURGE DEVICE  device-name

1.1  –  Parameter

 device-name

    Supplies the LAN controller device name. The device name has
    the form ddcu where dd is the device code, 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 DE435 Ethernet device is specified as EWA0, the second
    as EWB0.

    For example, you can specify a DEMNA controller as EXA, EXA0,
    or EXA0:. To select all LAN devices, omit the device name and
    include the /ALL qualifier.

1.2  –  Qualifier

1.2.1    /ALL

    Deletes data for all LAN devices in the LAN permanent device
    database. If you specify a device name, all matching LAN devices
    are selected, for example: E to select all Ethernet devices, F
    for FDDI, I for Token Ring, EW to select all Ethernet PCI Tulip
    devices.

1.2.2    /CHARACTERISTICS

       /CHARACTERISTICS or /PARAMETERS

    Deletes device characteristics settings for the LAN device, such
    as speed, duplex mode, and other device parameters.

1.2.3    /DLL

       /DLL or /MOPDLL

    Deletes MOP downline load settings for the LAN device.

1.2.4    /TRACE

    Deletes driver tracing settings for the LAN device.

    If no qualifier is present to select the type of data to delete,
    the entire device entry is deleted.

1.3  –  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

2.1  –  Parameter

 node-name

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

2.2  –  Qualifier

2.2.1    /ALL

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

2.3  –  Example

  LANCP> PURGE NODE/ALL

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