1  –  Parameter

 network-service

    Specifies the name of a network service.

2  –  Qualifiers

2.1    /ADDRESS

       /ADDRESS=address[es]

    Specifies the network address of the local node.

2.2    /CONNECTIONS

       /CONNECTIONS=

    Specifies a command to be executed to display the number of
    network connections.

2.3    /COUNTERS

       /COUNTERS=

    Specifies a command to be executed to display the number of
    network counters.

2.4    /DATA

       /DATA=

    Specifies a character string provided by the network service
    vendor.

2.5    /INTERFACE

       /INTERFACE=

    Specifies the OpenVMS driver for the network service.

2.6    /MANUFACTURER

       /MANUFACTURER=

    Specifies the manufacturer of the network service.

2.7    /NETWORK_TYPE

       /NETWORK_TYPE=

    Specifies the protocol for the network service.

2.8    /NODE

       /NODE=

    Specifies the name of the local node.

2.9    /PPPD_CALLOUT

       /PPPD_CALLOUT=image-name

    Specifies the name of the protected shareable image activated
    by PPPD. This image contains the routine PPPD$OPEN_CONNECT,
    which notifies the network service that a new physical transport
    exists that supports PPP. If the image resides in the SYS$SHARE
    directory, enter the file name of the image without the suffix
    (such as, PPPD_CALLOUT instead of PPPD_CALLOUT.EXE); otherwise,
    enter the system logical that identifies the location of the
    image.

2.10    /REGISTER

    Defines a new network service.

2.11    /REMOVE

    Deletes a network service from the database.

2.12    /START

       /START=

    START/NETWORK command for the network service.

2.13    /STATUS

       /STATUS=

    Specifies a command to be executed to display additional status
    information.

2.14    /STOP

       /STOP=

    Allows you to modify the specified data for the network service.

3  –  Examples

    1.$ SET NETWORK DECnet -
      _$     /MANUFACTURER= "VMS Software, Inc." -
      _$     /NODE="GALENA" -
      _$     /ADDRESS="19.129" -
      _$     /NETWORK_TYPE="DNA V" -
      _$     /INTERFACE="net 0" -
      _$     /DATA="Router: No" -
      _$     /STATUS="mcr ncl show node 0 all" -
      _$     /CONNECTIONS="mcr ncl show node 0 session control port * all"-
      _$     /COUNTERS="mcr ncl show node 0 session control all counters"-
      _$     /START="@sys$startup:net$startup" -
      _$     /STOP="@sys$manager:net$shutdown"

      This command adds the network service DECnet-Plus (Phase V) to
      the database, with the specified characteristics.

    2.$ SET NETWORK "TCP/IP" /REGISTER -

      _$ /MANUFACTURER="Hewlett-Packard Company" -
      _$ /NODE="ipv6.ucx.mars.univers.com" -
      _$ /ADDRESS="16.20.207.92" -
      _$ /NETWORK_TYPE="TCP/IP" -
      _$ /STATUS="TCPIP SHOW SERVICE" -
      _$ /CONNECTIONS="TCPIP SHOW DEVICE" -
      _$ /PPPD_CALLOUT="TCPIP$PPPD_CALLOUT"

      This command creates a new TCP/IP network service, adds it
      to the database, and enables the PPPD utility by supplying a
      logical name that identifies the location of the shareable
      image.

    3.$ SET NETWORK DECnet -

      _$                /MANUFACTURER= "VMS Software, Inc." -
      _$                /NODE="EMARET" -
      _$                /ADDRESS="12.378" -
      _$                /NETWORK_TYPE="DNA IV" -
      _$                /INTERFACE="net 0" -
      _$                /STATUS="mcr ncp show exec characteristics" -
      _$                /CONNECTIONS="mcr ncp show known link" -
      _$                /COUNTERS="mcr ncp show exec count" -
      _$                /START="@sys$manager:startnet" -
      _$                /STOP="mcr ncp set executor state shut"

      This command adds the network service DECnet (Phase IV) to the
