To prevent a host from communicating (functioning) in a TCP/IP network, use the TCP/IP IDENTITY DELETE command to delete the local IP address from the network. To do so, enter the following at your system console:
NW TCPIP ID DELETE IPADDRESS = <ip address>
where <ip address> is the enterprise server address that you are deleting from the network.
| Note: | For the DELETE option to work properly, you must use the TCPIP OPTION command to turn off LAN resiliency (LANRESIL) before issuing this command with the DELETE option. |
If the command is successful, you receive the following response:
TCPIPIDENTITY IPADDRESS = <ip address> DELETED
If the connection you are attempting to delete is in use, or if when entering the command syntax IPADDRESS is misspelled, the following message will display:
** ERROR: SEMANTIC ERROR IN TCPIP TCPIPIDENTITY DELETE COMMAND: IPADDRESS NOT FOUND OR IN USE: TCPIP TCPIPIDENTITY DELETE IPADDRESS = 192.39.0.49
If this message displays, close the connection, and reissue the TCP/IP IDENTITY DELETE command.
