Creates an applications port, a service, and  an  Ethernet  link  for
 your service node.

 Format:

    CREATE option

LINKPORTSERVICE

 Creates the Ethernet link(s) for your service node.

 Format:

    CREATE LINK link-name

Additional information available:

Parameters

/DECNET/DEVICE/DISABLE/ENABLE/LOG

 link-name

 Specifies the name of the Ethernet link that you  want  your  service
 node  to use.  The link name can have up to 31 ASCII characters.  You
 can create a maximum of  two  links.   If  you  have  more  than  one
 Ethernet  link  for your service node, you must assign a name to each
 link.  You must supply a link name with CREATE LINK.

 /DECNET (D)
 /NODECNET

 Specifies that the  extended  DECnet  address  should  be  used  when
 starting  the  Ethernet  controller.   If /NODECNET is specified, the
 controller's hardware  address  is  used  as  the  device's  physical
 address.   See  the  START NODE /DECNET command for more information.

 /DEVICE=device-name

 Specifies the Ethernet controller device name  (for  example,  XEA0:)
 for the Ethernet link that you are creating.  If you enter the CREATE
 LINK command without the /DEVICE qualifier, LATCP attempts to find an
 available  controller.  You can also specify a default device name by
 defining the LAT$DEVICE logical name.  Only one Ethernet link can  be
 associated with an Ethernet controller.

 /DISABLE=group-list

 Removes previously enabled groups associated with the link.  When you
 enter  a  group list, enclose the list in parenthesis, and use commas
 to separate individual groups.

 /ENABLE=group-list

 Specifies the service groups that can be used on the link.   You  can
 use  up to 256 groups, numbered from 0 through 255.  To enter a group
 list, enclose the list in parenthesis and use commas to separate  the
 groups.

 If you enable groups with this qualifier, only those groups apply  to
 the link; the groups enabled for your service node do not apply.

 The default is that no groups are enabled.  In this case, the  groups
 that  have  been enabled for your service node with SET NODE or START
 NODE apply to the link.

 /LOG   (D)
 /NOLOG

 Specifies whether the link characteristics are  displayed  when  this
 command is executed.

 Creates an applications port or a dedicated  port  for  your  service
 node.

 Format:

    CREATE PORT port-name

Additional information available:

Parameters

/APPLICATION/DEDICATED/LOG

 port-name

 Specifies the applications or dedicated port name, in the form LTAn:,
 where n is a unique number from 1 through 9999, for the LAT port that
 you are creating for your service node.  The default is to create  an
 applications port.

 /APPLICATION   (D)

 Specifies that the port being created on your service node  functions
 as an applications port that is to be mapped to a server.

 /DEDICATED

 Specifies that the port being created on your service node  functions
 as  a  port  that  is dedicated to a particular service.  The service
 name is specified using the  SET  PORT  /DEDICATED  command.  When  a
 server  user requests the service name, that user is connected to the
 dedicated port if the application has assigned a channel to the port.

 /LOG   (D)
 /NOLOG

 Specifies whether the characteristics  for  the  port  that  you  are
 creating are displayed when this command is executed.

 Creates a service name for your service node.  You can  later  modify
 the  service  characteristics  with  the  SET  SERVICE  command.  The
 service is announced in the multicast messages sent by  your  service
 node.

 Format:

    CREATE SERVICE [service-name]

Additional information available:

Parameters

/IDENTIFICATION/LINK/LOG/STATIC_RATING

 service-name

 Specifies the name for  the  service  for  your  service  node.   The
 service  name can have 1 to 16 ASCII characters.  The default service
 name is the translation  of  the  SYS$NODE  logical  name.   You  can
 specify up to eight service names for your node.

 Several service nodes can share one service name.  A  shared  service
 name  is  especially useful in VAXclusters.  It allows the cluster to
 be  known  by  a  single  cluster  name.   On  log  in,  the   server
 automatically connects to the least-busy node offering that name.

 /IDENTIFICATION="identification-string"

 Specifies a description for the service.  The string is advertised to
 servers in the multicast messages sent by your service node.  Enclose
 the string in quotation marks ("").  The string can  have  up  to  64
 ASCII   characters   and   cannot   begin   with  an  ampersand  (&).
 Nonprintable characters are translated as spaces.  The default is the
 translation of the SYS$ANNOUNCE logical name.

 /LINK=link-name

 Specifies the name of the link(s)  on  which  you  want  the  service
 offered.   The  link(s)  that  you  specify  must  have  been created
 previously with the CREATE LINK command.   Use  SHOW  CHARACTERISTICS
 for a list of the links defined for your node.  If you do not specify
 a link name for a service, that service  is  offered  on  all  active
 Ethernet links.

 Usually, you will want to offer all of the services on all links.

 /LOG   (D)
 /NOLOG

 Specifies whether characteristics of the  services  on  your  service
 node  are to be displayed when this command is executed.  The default
 is /LOG.

   /STATIC_RATING=rating
   /NOSTATIC_RATING   (D)

 /STATIC_RATING disables dynamic service  rating  and  allows  you  to
 specify  a  static rating for this service.  /NOSTATIC_RATING enables
 dynamic rating, thus disabling any static rating previously  set  for
 this service.

 The dynamic service rating is usually  adequate  for  efficient  load
 balancing  on  the  LAT  network.   You  can use the static rating to
 direct terminal server users  temporarily  away  from  or  towards  a
 particular node.
