VMS Help  —  LANCP  SET  DEVICE  Qualifiers (LAN Failover Devices)

1    /DISABLE

    Disables the devices in a LAN Failover set. When disabled, LAN
    devices can be added to or deleted from the Failover set.

2    /ENABLE

    Enables a Failover set, which activates the Logical LAN device.
    The LAN Failover driver selects a LAN device from the LAN
    Failover set as the active device and then allows I/O to the
    Logical LAN device.

3    /FAILOVER_SET

       /FAILOVER_SET=(device-name[,...])
       /[NO]FAILOVER_SET=(device-name[,...])

    Specifies the members of a LAN Failover set.

4    /PRIORITY

       /PRIORITY=value

    Sets the failover priority of a LAN device. Priority is given to
    the LAN failover device with the highest priority when choosing
    the active LAN device. When a LAN device with a higher priority
    becomes available, a failover transition to the newly available
    device is performed. This allows a system manager to set a
    preferred device by setting one LAN device to a higher priority
    than others. The LAN failover driver uses the preferred device
    when it is available.

5    /SIZE

       /SIZE=value

    Sets the packet size of the LAN failover device.

    Valid values are STANDARD (the default) or JUMBO:

    o  STANDARD is the Ethernet maximum packet size of 1518 bytes.

    o  JUMBO is the oversize packet size available with Gigabit
       Ethernet devices.

       JUMBO is allowed only if all the LAN devices in the LAN
       failover set are Gigabit devices.

    Note that the size specified for the LAN failover device
    overrides the size set on the members of the LAN failover
    set; that is, the JUMBO frame setting of a LAN device is of no
    consequence when the size is determined for the LAN failover
    device.

6    /SWITCH

       /SWITCH (SET DEVICE only)

    Forces a LAN failover to another member of the LAN failover set.

    You can test LAN failover operation by using this command to
    switch from one device to another.
