Modifying object attributes in a dialog using an EDIT command

You can have the attributes of certain BCAM objects displayed (and also modify them) in a dialog. A number of EDIT commands is available for doing this.

The output starts a guided dialog for the MODIFY command. In this dialog you can modify the attributes of the object.

The following EDIT commands are available for displaying and modifying individual objects:

EDIT command	Associated MODIFY command
EDIT-BCAM-OPTIONS	MODIFY-BCAM-OPTIONS
EDIT-HOST-ATTRIBUTES	MODIFY-HOST-ATTRIBUTES
EDIT-LINE	MODIFY-LINE
EDIT-ROUTE-ATTRIBUTES	MODIFY-ROUTE-ATTRIBUTES
MODIFY-ROUTE-ATTRIBUTES	MODIFY-ROUTE-ATTRIBUTES
MODIFY-ROUTE-ATTRIBUTES	MODIFY-ROUTE-ATTRIBUTES

EDIT commands for modifying individual objects

The EDIT-BCAM-OBJECT command is also available with which you can both create and modify various BCAM objects. You use the OBJECT= operand to specify the type of the BCAM object, and the CMD= operand to control whether a CREATE or MODIFY command is to be edited. The table below shows which CREATE and MODIFY commands are generated depending on what is specified for OBJECT=.

EDIT-BCAM-OBJECT Value for OBJECT=	Associated CREATE-command when CMD=*CREATE	Associated MODIFY-command when CMD=*MODIFY
*HOST	CREATE-VIRTUAL-HOST	MODIFY-HOST-ATTRIBUTES
*LINE	CREATE-LINE	MODIFY-LINE
*LINK-AGGREGATION	CREATE-LINK-AGGREGATION	---
*NODE	CREATE-NODE	---
*PROCESSOR	CREATE-PROCESSOR	---
*ROUTE	CREATE-ROUTE	MODIFY-ROUTE-ATTRIBUTES
*VLAN-DEVICE	CREATE-VLAN-DEVICE	MODIFY-VLAN-DEVICE
*VLAN-LINE	CREATE-VLAN-LINE	MODIFY-VLAN-LINE

EDIT command EDIT-BCAM-OBJECT for creating and modifying objects

Example

You want to modify the attributes of the line STDLIN02. Enter the following EDIT command to do so:

EDIT-LINE LINE-NAME=STDLIN02

The following screen is then displayed with the line attributes:

KEYS : F1=?   F3=*EXIT   F5=*REFRESH   F6=*EXIT-ALL   F8=+   F9=REST-SDF-IN

You can edit the attributes. As soon as you transfer the screen, a MODIFY-LINE command is generated which modifies the settings as you have specified.
